Study, development and characterization of thin films applied to optical sensors

[Closed]

Work description

This scholarship will be carried out within the scope of a project that aims to develop and implement optical sensors in an industrial context. They will be applied to detect gas leaks in the energy sector and monitor water quality in the environmental area. It is intended that the scholarship holder will develop simulation models of nanostructures for the propagation of surface waves and carry out experimental validation through fabrication and subsequent optical characterization.
