Study and development of optical sensors for monitoring the curing process of concrete structures

Work description

This scholarship is part of a project aimed at the development and implementation of optical sensors in an industrial context. Different types of sensors will be applied to monitor the curing processes of concrete structures used to support offshore wind turbines. The goal is to study and develop optimized optical solutions for monitoring concrete curing through the production and installation of various optical sensors during construction in an industrial environment.
