Overview

In this project, we aim to develop low-cost, deployable biosensor devices (e.g., paper-microfluidics devices and electrochemical sensors) for rapid monitoring of water quality.

Features

We will train one Electrochemical And Paper-microfluidics Detection for Monitoring Water Disinfection PhD student at Cranfield University, working within a highly multidisciplinary team from academic and industrial partners (Cranfield, Zimmer & Peacock Ltd and Kersia Ltd) to develop, and transfer advanced sensor technology for rapid monitoring of water quality to provide new understanding on the dynamics and transportation of contaminants and inform mitigation, to help achieve and maintain sustainable health and well-being.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Cranfield University is number one in the UK for training and producing engineering and technology postgraduates.

It is one of the top five research-intensive universities in the UK and has an unrivalled reputation for transforming cutting edge technology, management and science into practical, life-enhancing solutions.

This research project will be conducted within the Water Science Institute, School of Water, Energy and Environment.

We have recently established an Advanced Sensors Laboratory funded by UKCRIC, and this dedicated laboratory is the centre of the world-class research into sensors and their uses in water and the water industry being conducted at Cranfield.
