Instrument coverage: Electroplating bath, Carbon Detector (solid-state), Optical Microscopes, Coating Thickness and Hardness Gauges.
Research
Summary: My M.Sc. Thesis subject is “Complex Analytical Method for Detection and Quantification of Trace Heavy Metals in Water”. The research is done under supervision of Prof. Israel Schechter at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. My research focused on expanding the range of detection and quantification of heavy metals (in particular, Ni and Cd ions) in water from currently available ppm limit to the ultra-low ppb limit, via formation of organo-metallic colloidal complexes in water and utilization of various pre-concentration techniques. This project also involved investigation of colloidal particles and study of their formation kinetics.
Instrument and techniques coverage: Fluorimeter, AAS, ICP-AES, Spectrophotometer equipped with Integrating Sphere, Nicomp 380 Zeta Potential Instrument based on Dynamic Light Scattering Theory, Solid Phase Extraction Technique.
