Electrically Tunable Surfaces for Selective Separation

Imec; Vlaams-Brabant; On-site; EUR 6,700 - 8,900; Part time

Job summary

Imec invites applications for a Master internship investigating how applied electric fields modulate interactions on SiO2-based surfaces for selective separations. The project will generate preliminary data for a grant and potentially contribute to a publication.

You will run SPR experiments to study adsorption, desorption, and binding under different field conditions and develop a theoretical framework to explain the observations.

Qualifications

• Master internship at imec in a field related to biomedical engineering, bioscience, chemistry, materials, mechanical engineering or physics.
• Educational background as listed is required for eligibility.
• Candidates should be enrolled in a Master program.

Responsibilities

• Work with imec fluidics and biochemistry teams to prepare SPR substrates.
• Design and perform SPR experiments to measure adsorption, desorption, and binding kinetics under varying electric-field conditions.
• Develop a theoretical framework to interpret effects in terms of electrostatic interactions and surface chemistry.
