The next robotics frontier will be led by biohybrids. Capable biohybrid robots require microfluidics to sustain, improve, and scale the architectural complexity of their core ingredient: biological tissues. Advances in microfluidics have already revo...
A major challenge in the field of microfluidics is to predict and control drop interactions. This work develops an image-based data-driven model to forecast drop dynamics based on experiments performed on a microfluidics device. Reduced-order modelli...
Injection molding is one of the most promising technologies for the large-scale production and application of polymeric microfluidic chips. The multi-objective optimization of injection molding process for substrate and cover plate on protein electro...
Organ-on-a-chip (OOAC) is an emerging technology based on microfluid platforms and in vitro cell culture that has a promising future in the healthcare industry. The numerous advantages of OOAC over conventional systems make it highly popular. The chi...
The sensory-motor interaction is a hallmark of living systems. However, developing inanimate systems with "recognize and attack" abilities remains challenging. On the other hand, controlling the inter-droplet dynamics on surfaces is key in microengin...
Microfluidic impedance cytometry is a label-free technique for high-throughput single-cell analysis. Multi-frequency impedance measurements provide data that allows full characterisation of cells, linking electrical phenotype to individual biophysica...
