According to the urgent need for rapid detection and identification of foodborne bacteria to prevent public health event, a microfluidic electrical impedance flow cytometry assisted with convolutional neural network (ConvNet) based deep learning algo...
Microfluidic technologies have long enabled the manipulation of flow-driven cells en masse under a variety of force fields with the goal of characterizing them or discriminating the pathogenic ones. On the other hand, a microfluidic platform is typic...
Image-activated cell sorting is an essential biomedical research technique for understanding the unique characteristics of single cells. Deep learning algorithms can be used to extract hidden cell features from high-content image information to enabl...

A dynamic and low-profile unloader tibiofemoral knee brace is designed and prototyped by synergizing concepts from the fields of microfluidics and soft robotics. Microfluidics provides strategies for miniaturization and multiplexing while soft roboti...
Uncovering the heterogeneity of cellular populations and multicellular constructs is a long-standing goal in fields ranging from antimicrobial resistance to cancer research. Emerging technology platforms such as droplet microfluidics hold the promise...
Automated technologies that can perform massively parallelized and sequential fluidic operations at small length scales can resolve major bottlenecks encountered in various fields, including medical diagnostics, -omics, drug development, and chemical...

Pollen tubes face many obstacles on their way to the ovule. They have to decide whether to navigate around cells or penetrate the cell wall and grow through it or even within it. Besides chemical sensing, which directs the pollen tubes on their path ...
Exclusive liquid repellency (ELR) describes an extreme wettability phenomenon in which a liquid phase droplet is completely repelled from a solid phase when exposed to a secondary immiscible liquid phase. Earlier, we developed a multi-liquid-phase op...
Microfluidic devices have been increasingly used for low-volume liquid handling operations. However, laboratory automation of such delicate devices has lagged behind due to the lack of world-to-chip (macro-to-micro) interfaces. In this paper, we have...
