ResearchInterfacial Phenomena, Micro- and Nano-fluidics
Micro- and nano-fluidics, which is the heart of the lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology, deals with the manipulation of tiny amounts of fluids, from micro- to picoliters. At such scales, the area-to-volume ratio is huge and interfaces control fluid flow making even simple tasks like pumping fluids challenging. The study of dynamics of interfaces offers innovative solutions for fluid handling in LOC devices as well as novel applications such as water harvesting.
