We are thrilled to celebrate the successful defense of David Batet’s doctoral thesis: Paper-based electronic sensors towards sustainable point-of-care diagnostics. The PhD has been directed by GAB researcher Dr. Gemma Gabriel and Dr. Juan Pablo Esquivel from BCMaterials and Dr. Eloi Ramon form the ICAS-goup at IMB-CNM.
This thesis presents the development of printed disposable self-powered sensors for PoC diagnosis based on biodegradable materials. With a focus on sustainability, printing technologies were selected for device fabrication due to their low energy consumption, waste generation, and cost compared to conventional microfabrication. This milestone reflects years of dedication, curiosity, and resilience. Join us in congratulating Dr. David Batet on this outstanding achievement!
The viva was on Thursday October 30th and the PhD committee was formed by César Fernández Sánchez (researcher at the GTQ group of IMB-CNM), Almudena Rivadeneyra (researcher at Universidad de Granada), and Daniela Correia ((researcher at Universidade do Minho).
