Polyxeni (Polina) is a doctoral student originally from Athens, Greece. She first came to Geneva on an exchange programme while studying in Belgium and subsequently decided to continue her doctoral work here. She is working on electrochemical sensing principles for aquatic analysis, especially the detection of phosphate and nitrate. She is interested in the development of electrochemical biosensors and passionate about her involvement in the chimiscope, our outreach activity.
