Research Interest:
Engineering at micro- and nano-level is a key to solving today’s global challenges. Just like the miniaturization of electronic chips at the end of last century, today’s mechanical engineers are following the same road map towards lab on a chip – tiny fluid processors. Our research focus is on exploring micro interfacial sciences and creating revolutionary micro/nanofluidic systems to address pressing problems involving health, energy and environment.We are specifically interested in acoustic microfluidics and biosensors. Minimum time commitment in hours per week: 10 Qualifications of a Student:
Passionate, creative and committed. 10 hours minimum work hours during Fall and Spring semesters. 20 hours minimum for summer students. Preferred course taken: Fluid Mechanics. Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
The student will be expected to conduct high-quality research via literature study, designing and performing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, presenting results in professional conferences, and publishing scientific journal papers. The student will also be able to apply for various grants/awards and attend competitions at international/national/local levels. Especially, we welcome FWS eligible students to apply for the Chancellor's Undergraduate Research Award (CURA).
NOTE: This researcher is currently not accepting applications for the Undergraduate Research Experience program.
