Description
Topic:
Development of analytical methods for characterization of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds emitted by pest infested plants.
Company:
Chromatotec, Val de Virvée For more than 40 years, Chromatotec Group has designed and manufactured a full range of automatic gas and liquid chromatographs for continuous and online monitoring.
These innovative analyzers are 100% made in France and allow tracking of ppt/ppb/ppm and % concentration levels.Academic laboratory:
CNRS and University of Strasbourg, Institute of Chemistry and Processes for Energy, Environment and Health (ICPEES, UMR 7515).
Goal of the project:
The main objective of the European project PurPest is to control serious plant pests during import and to manage them in the field by developing a unique concept enabling pest detection in a timely and non-invasive manner.
In this project, Chromatotec will lead the design, integration and manufacturing of analytical systems that allow in-field characterization of emitted biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs).
The PhD thesis will be organized into the following tasks:Task 1:
Literature research (throughout the thesis).
Task 2:
development of analytical methods with significant adaptation of instruments for BVOC analysis by means of a transportable GC-FID/MS (reference method) and a portable GC/PID, both coupled to a (micro)preconcentrator
Duration:
15-18 months.
Task 3:
Validation of both methods under controlled laboratory conditions and evaluation of analytical performances
Duration:
9-12 months.
Task 4:
Tests under real conditions with plants either under laboratory conditions or in crop fields in collaboration with the PurPEST project partners
Duration:
3-4 months.
Task 5:
Valorization of the work: reports, publications, conferences, thesis manuscript, etc. (throughout the thesis).
This will be performed in collaboration with an academic laboratory of the University of Strasbourg.
The doctoral student will share his/her time between the two sites and will also regularly present his/her work in English to members of the European project consortium.
Supervision:
Internship will be cosupervised by Damien Bazin (Analytical Department Manager at Chromatotec) and Stéphane Le Calvé (Research Director at CNRS/University of Strasbourg).
Material and financial conditions:
The student will benefit from all the experimental facilities available in Chromatotec company and ICPEES laboratory CNRS/university of Strasbourg. The net monthly salary is estimated at 1900 euros for three years. The costs of the missions will be covered by Chromatotec.
Thesis registration:
University of Strasbourg - Doctoral School of Chemistry
Salary: 2,400.00€ per month
Work Location:
In person
