Research centre (2-year fellowship): sensors research
"I am working in research field. It corresponds to advanced materials and special manufacturing processes of components for the space sector. I work on the design, manufacture and validation of the space prototypes. Concretely, metal oxide (MOX) semiconducting gas sensors ("Metal oxide-based gas sensor research: How to?").

They are typically based on metal oxides (e.g. SnO2, TiO2, In2O3, WO3, NiO, etc.). In the field of this type of gas sensors, recent applied studies and products releases have shown some significant trends on nanotechnologies and gas-sensing layers to be employed. Several theoretical and applied articles have shown the advantage of reducing the metal oxide grain size down to nanometer scale in order to improve the sensing properties (mainly sensitivity and selectivity) as well as stability over time of the oxide layer. In addition, a large number of innovative deposition techniques have been introduced and investigated. For example, electrospinning technique is a very promising tool for the preparation of sensor elements -see above image- due to the high surface-to-volume ratios achieved (fibers -see below image- with diameters on the order of 100 nanometers, equal to 1,000 Å) [...]

I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it."
