PhD opportunity – Rapid, near-the-source detection of key pathogens in bathing waters

This PhD project will develop advanced, portable, and power-free microfluidic tools for detecting pathogens in bathing waters. Building on recent innovations by the supervisory team, this includes low-cost “dip stick” and “microfluidic siphon” devices capable of culturing bacteria or purifying DNA/RNA without lab infrastructure. Electrochemical detection will also be incorporated if needed.
