yIntegration

The Integrated Micro/Nanofluidics Lab (IMNfL) focuses on developing novel methods to control fluidic motions in micro and nanoscale. Various physical principles dominant in micro and nanoscale world such as surface and interfacial phenomena are explored and investigated. Our research aims at integration of various fluidic control principles to build portable/compact fluidic systems which benefits disease diagnostics, chemical or biological analytic processes heat transfer and energy harvestingbiological analytic processes, heat transfer, and energy harvesting.
