Imaging of Organic Contaminants with Spectral Induced Polarization

In this research project, the student will first be integrated into Dr. Slater’s research group and begin learning the desired knowledge and skills related to his PhD research. The project will be mainly focused on the training of performing laboratory experiments using widely used imaging techniques on polluted soils. The experiments will focus on the operation of different instrumentation using different approaches on implementing laboratory experiments. Moreover, different processing techniques will be employed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the experimental results. A key goal of this research program is the collaboration with a world-leading expert in his field and the learning of new knowledge and skills that will directly enhance student’s PhD research and improve his research communication and networking skills. Lastly, this program is an exciting opportunity for the student to travel and study in another country and experience a different culture and lifestyle.
