Research Opportunities

Configuration and use of commercial systems for analyzing samples using analytical methods

Work description

This work is part of a project that aims to develop and implement optical sensors in an industrial context on floating concrete structures in the ocean with assessment of the quality of the surrounding water.

The aim of this scholarship is to study and operate different analytical systems for analyzing liquid samples, namely gas chromatography with and without mass spectrometry through flow injection analysis (FIA).
