Sensing with Plasmonic Micro/Nanocapsules

In the context of an aging population and a global environmental pollution problem, it is becoming more and more important to develop novel innovative kinds of sensors, able to detect early health and environmental changes that could potentially affect people’s health. Within this Globalink Research project, we intent to develop plasmonic based sensors, small, cheap and easy to deploy, which will be used for two types of microsensing, namely strain/stress microsensing for biomedical application and heavy metal microsensing for environmental applications. This project will be made in collaboration with experts in biomedical engineering who develop artificial biocompatible ligaments and experts in oceanology who work on understanding the mechanism of pollutant accumulation in the Arctic
