Research atthe Computational Micro and Nanofluidics Laboratory focuses on the flow, heatand mass transfer in micro and nano channels. The primary objective is todevelope simple models for complex flows using a minimum of empiricism. Theapplications include
- Lab-on-a-chip: biofluidic filters and separators;electroosmotic pumps; integrated microfluidic vents
- Drug delivery systems providing controlled release
- Rapid biomolecular analysis
- Size-based protection of biosensors
- Novel biomolecular assays: shear-based assays, post-shear affinity assays
- Transport modeling of bio-artificial kidney
- DNA biosensor
- Cancer cell magnetic targeting
- Asymmetric hydrated ion nano-separator for direct water desalination
Electroosmotic Flow - Experimental Validation
DNA Translocation in Nanopores
Micro/nano Nozzles for Gene Delivery
