Job description
VSPARTICLE (VSP) is an ambitious nanotechnology company that is on a mission to change the world of material development. For the development of clean energy and breakthrough applications, millions of new materials need to be explored.
VSP develops cutting-edge technology that unlocks and accelerates the discovery of novel materials with advanced properties-materials that can contribute to solving some of the world's biggest challenges in green hydrogen, gas sensing and batteries.
About the traineeship
We are offering an internship opportunity focused on the development of nanostructured sensing materials for next-generation gas sensor technologies, in collaboration with VSParticle B.V., a leader in spark ablation-based nanomaterial synthesis and deposition.
This internship provides hands-on experience with a state-of-the-art material fabrication technique and its application in emerging sensing technologies for health, environmental, and smart-device applications.
Project Overview
Gas sensors for health and environmental monitoring require highly sensitive, selective, and stable sensing layers. One promising approach is the use of nano-porous materials with high surface area and controlled composition.
In this project, you will work with VSParticle's spark ablation deposition technology, a solvent-free method enabling the fabrication of high-purity nanomaterials directly onto sensor substrates. You will contribute to the development and optimization of these materials for use in MEMS-based gas sensors, targeting applications such as: -
Non-invasive health monitoring (e.g., detection of VOC biomarkers) -
Indoor air quality sensing -
Smart home and wearable systems
Your Responsibilities
During the internship, you will: -
Perform nanomaterial deposition ...
