In complex environmentsranging from oil and gas pipelines to physiological monitoring, no single modality can capture the full spectrum of relevant information. Combining techniques such as ultrasonics, optics, and microwaves enables deeper insight into material, chemical, and biological systems. This presentation will highlight examples of cross-domain sensor development, showing how multimodal integration leads to enhanced data reliability, process efficiency, and diagnostic precision. The main emphasis will be on ultrasonic sensing.
