Project Description
This Master´s thesis aims to develop hybrid organic–inorganic materials that function as mechanoelectric sensors for potential applications in healthcare and monitoring. The materials engineering will involve vapor-phase molecular infiltration processes, followed by characterization using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The project will also assess the functionality, sensitivity, and practical applicability of the developed materials.
Candidates should apply by following the instructions of the general call and by completing the form below and attaching the following documents:
- A complete CV
- Academic record and cover letter grouped in a single PDF file
The deadline for applications is 06/04/2026.
