Summary: To detect pollutants in the air, we are developing compact, high-performance, lightweight measuring devices. These devices probe the chemical reactivity of gaseous pollutants using colored microbeads See: [Mugherli et al., Lab-on-a-Chip 2020; Guittet et al., Journal of Sol-gel Science and Technology 2023]. |

Full description: Background : To detect pollutants in the air, we are developing compact, high-performance, lightweight measuring devices. These devices probe the chemical reactivity of gaseous pollutants using colored microbeads [See: Mugherli et al., Lab-on-a-Chip 2020; Guittet et al., Journal of Sol-gel Science and Technology 2023]. Main objective : The aim of this project is to manufacture materials in different colors, and to evaluate their detection capabilities. Main tasks : Two main actions will be carried out during the internship: (i) Manufacture materials using the Sol-Gel process. (ii) Evaluate the reactivity of these materials towards pollutants. |
Technics/methods used during the internship: R&D skills: Chemistry, Physical chemistry, Optics, Spectroscopy Professional skills: Autonomy, Efficiency, Creativity, Communication, Interests: Environment, Air quality. |
