摘要：The talk presents a review a recent results in the MET (molecular-electronic transfer) technology and its aplication. The MET is a scientific and technological concept, which uses electrchemical cell as a primary motion detector. In the last 10 years the MET technology has resulted in the appearance of a new class of highly sensitive sensors of motion parameters, first of all, of short period and broadband seismometers, seismic accelerometers and angular motion sensors.

个人简介：Prof. Agafonov Vadim work on molecular-electronic transfer (MET) in solid state/fluidic microsystems and applications related on using of the MET in motion sensors. The field of my interests includes basic research in microhydrodynamics, charge and mass transport in micro and nanoscale electrochemical systems, as well as development of the fluid based seismometers and accelerometers. The goal of my research is to provide very sensitive miniaturized portable instruments for scientists and engineers to use in a variety of areas such as seismology, seismic exploration, geophysics, inertial navigation, control systems, vibration monitoring etc.

       During my career I shared my time between researches in the laboratory in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and development of practical devices based on the research results for number of commercial companies.

I am one of the inventors of Molecular Electric Transfer (MET) Technology for motion sensing. I have more than 50 referenced publications in scientific journals and conferences proceeding, both Russian and international ones. One of the implementation of the MET technology is the development of low-cost and robust seismometers which are required for seismic study and disaster prediction and prevention. However, the development of a cost-effective high-performance seismometer is extremely challenging and although people are trying to improve traditional structure, this may or may not produce a breakthrough.

       The seismometers developed by the team headed by me produce a high performance comparable with traditional ones, but are much cheaper and require less deployment and maintenance effort. As for the MET technology, I have managed scientific researches, engineering and manufacturing and since it is critical for this type of research to be successful, I have been playing a role of a bridge between scientific and engineering teams who have different mindsets.
