Research Opportunity
Development of an optical sensor for monitoring dissolved CO2 in marine environments.
Work description
Monitoring CO2 in water is increasingly relevant due to its environmental impact, particularly oceanic CO2.
This fellowship, part of a project aimed at developing and implementing optical sensors in an industrial context on floating concrete structures in the ocean, seeks to develop and implement optical technology for assessing the quality of the surrounding water, emphasizing monitoring dissolved CO2.
