Development of metamaterial-based sensors for detecting contaminants in water.
[Open soon]
Work description
The WaveSense project aims to develop artificially structured materials capable of generating and controlling surface electromagnetic waves for the detection of chemical, biochemical, and biological substances in water. The candidate will be responsible for investigating new methodologies to design a metamaterial architecture for monitoring contaminants present in water at low concentrations.
