SMART is a research group in Analytical Chemistry focused on the development and application of automated devices and IoT (Internet of Analytical Things) in analytical processes.
The laboratory works with sensors, instruments, and microcontrollers connected to computer systems and cloud services to:
- 🔬 Automate analytical processes (sample preparation, reagent management)
- 📊 Convert raw data into meaningful information
- ☁️ Manage data storage and real-time transmission
- 🌍 Apply technology for environmental monitoring
- 🏥 Develop solutions for clinical analysis
