    at the Department of Bioscience Engineering in the Faculty of Science of the University of Antwerp (Belgium) is looking for a full-time (%) doctoral scholarship holder in a dvanced data and profile processing in electrochemistry .

    The overall goal of this PhD is the development of advanced data models to extract qualitative and quantitative information from electrochemical data. These data models will improve the state-of-the-art in (bio)electrochemical sensing, to make an impact in e.g. cancer diagnosis, on-site illicit drug sensing and infectious disease diagnostics. It is crucial that the information extracted from the electrochemical data is maximized to achieve high accuracies.

    This PhD offers the unique opportunity to combine lab work with data analysis, to record novel datasets, and software development, to process and design novel data strategies using existing and novel datasets. Overall, this PhD will positively impact society by pushing electrochemical applications in health care and law enforcement to a higher level by making an impact in an underexplored, yet more crucial than ever, part of the technology.
