Research Project
Microfluidics for Life Science Applications
Project 1: Customized Microfluidics
We provide services through a facility to academic and industrial users. We can design and fabricate microfluidic solutions for specific projects as well as consultancy to help finding existing commercial products and navigating through the microfluidics ecosystem.
Project 2: 2-Photon-Printing for Microfluidics
2-photon polymerization (2PP) printing is a 3D printing technique that can resolve sub-micron features. I am interested in using this technology to build systems for single cell arrays, chips for droplets and capsules productions, nozzles for X-ray crystallography.
Research Themes
The Biomedical Engineering Division's research is consolidated under four key research themes; precision medicine, sustainability, antimicrobial resistance and data driven life science. My research is focused on precision medicine.
Key Competences
- Additive Manufacturing of polymers and hydrogels (2PP, DLP-SLA, FDM)
- 3D cell culture
- Integrated sensors
- Microfabrication
- Microfluidics
- Droplet microfluidics
- Biological response
