MEET me TONIGHT
"MEET me TONIGHT 2021" is an yearly initiative aiming at reducing the distance between science and people. During the event, Prof. Elisabetta Comini described NATO AMOXES project to the audience. Please have a look at the video! (in Italian) |
PhD Candidates are welcome!
As Director of the SensorLab I want to inform you concerning the PhD applications. The PhD course that we are part of is: INFORMATION ENGINEERING - Curriculum in Physical Sciences for Engineering This is the link where you can find all the information. Please remember that for the admission you need to pay 50€ to the administration. https://www.unibs.it/en/education/enrolling/calls-students-and-graduates/call-admission-undergraduate-and-post-graduate-courses/Call%20for%20Admissions%20to%20PhD%20programs%2C%20XXXVII%20cycle%20-%20A.Y.%202021/2022 If you have any doubts feel free to contact me. Concerning our research activity you can have look at our web page and at the list of publications at the following web sites: We are fully equipped with instrumentations for materials preparation, fundamental and functional characterisation such as: - sputtering, evaporations systems, furnaces for NWs growth, electrochemical anodisation, hydrothermal technique,... - SEM, AFM, XRD, Raman, SNOM, contact angle, UV VIS spectrometer…. - gas test systems…. Best Regard Prof. Elisabetta Comini |

PhD positions: call for applications
Call for PhD Applications XXXVI Cycle, A.Y 2020/2021, is now open. The Registration online procedure, will close without exception by 14.00 hours (Italian time) on 18 August 2020 PhD Courses will start on November 1st 2020 On-line applications shall be submitted exclusively through the online procedure from the day of publication of this Call on the University's Online Official Notice Board available on https://titulus-unibrescia.cineca.it/albo/ As SENSOR lab we are participating to the Doctorate in Information Engineering: curriculum in “Physical Sciences for Engineering”. We are interested in highly motivated students that can work on the preparation of nanomaterials (films, nanowires…) using vapour phase (sputtering, evaporation, thermal oxidation,…) or liquid phase (anodization, hydrothermal growth), on their structural, morphological and functional characterization (XRD, NanoRaman, TERS, AFM, SEM, UV-VIS, electrical, I-V, Kelvin probe measurements and gas tests). If you are interested and you would like to join our lab please write for further information to elisabetta.comini@unibs.it |
Special Issue "Sustainable Metal Oxide Materials for Sensing Applications"
We are pleased to invite authors to publish an
original research paper or a focused review to the following Special Issue on MDPI Chemosensors journal: "Sustainable Metal Oxide Materials for Sensing Applications"
Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/chemosensors/special_issues/SMOMSA Submission deadline: 15 February 2021 All papers will be peer-reviewed. All accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as they are accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of CHF 1000 currently applies to all accepted papers. |

ESTS'18 Best Poster Award
It's a pleasure to report that our PhD student Manohar Prasad Bhandari has won the Best Poster Award and the Conference Bursary Award at the closing cerymony of ESTS'18: Emerging Sensing Technology Summit, 24-26 September 2018, Melbourne, Australia. Many congratulations!!  |
CERIC Highlights!
It's a pleasure to report that one of recent SENSOR manuscripts was selected as Highlights paper on CERIC website. This work entitled "Branch-like NiO/ZnO heterostructures for VOC sensing" was performed in collaboration with CERIC (Central European Research Infrastructure Consortium) facilities, reporting for the first time the synthesis of NiO/ZnO branch-like heterostructures by custom evaporation-condensation methods, for the fabrication of chemical sensing devices.
