Thesis type MASTER THESIS
Description The quality of drinking water in urban pipelines should be carefully monitored as it affects not only the water taste, but also people’s health. National regulations provide limits on physical, chemical, and organic parameters, but a continuous and distributed monitoring is challenging.
The thesis will focus on the bottom-up development of a monitoring system to address drinking water quality to be connected to urban water pipelines. The main activities will be:
- Preliminary investigations on the physical quantities affecting drinking water quality, and identification of suitable low-cost sensors.
- Implementation on the proposed system on ad hoc hardware based on an STM32 nucleo.
- Management of a cloud platform to store and to retrieve the collected data.
- Experimental validation of the developed system and analysis of the acquired measurements.
Required skills - Experience in microcontroller programming (C language).
- Be familiar with analog electronics and serial communication interfaces.
- Knowledge of JAVA, PHP and Javascript is a plus, but it is not strictly required.
