Description
This project focuses on the development of lab-on-chip sensors for real time detection of aquatic pollutants. The project focus will depend on the student background, and could vary from environmental sciences (identification of targets and data analysis), biology/virology (functionalization of surfaces with antibodies for target attachment), physics/material sciences (fabrication of sensors and/or electronics (sensor data reading and processing).
