Research Opportunity

Plasma Spectroscopy, automation

Work description

PhD scholarship within the scope of the PRR Alliance for Energy Transition (ATE) project, for the development of nanostructures designed to generate and control surface electromagnetic waves (ESW) with the aim of monitoring water quality in different aquatic environments.

Plasmonics-based structures, hyperbolic metamaterials, and emerging ESW-based metasurfaces will be used for saltwater analysis.
