Graphene Ammonium Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor Reliability Testing

This is a partnership between ABB, an international leader in water quality monitoring, and McGill University, where the objective is to test the reliability of an emerging technology in ion concentration measurement. The technology combines state-of-the-art electronics, composed of the atomically thin material graphene, and ionsensitive polymers, developed in the research group of Prof. Szkopek at McGill University. The immediate goal is to assess the viability of the technology for ammonium monitoring in waste-water treatment plants, where harsh conditions prevail and a suitable technology solution remains elusive. The project involves an internship of a
graduate student working with Prof. Szkopek who will be responsible for conducting reliability tests. The intern will receive industrially relevant training while facilitating knowledge transfer from McGill University to ABB.
