On the 3rd of June, 2020, six AMS master students successfully defended their master’s theses.

The defenders’ theses demonstrated the wide scope of the field of applied measurement science. The topics of their studies ranged from analytical chemistry to biochemistry, even including interdisciplinary bioelectrochemistry. In their experiments, various techniques were applied from solid-phase extraction combined with LC-MS/MS to x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
