The design of highly-sensitive thermoelectric microfluidic sensors for the characterization of biochemical processes is an important area of engineering research. This study reports three-dimensional numerical analysis of the critical design parameters of a continuous-flow biosensor with ... Read More
A fundamentally important area of the COMSOL Multiphysics® code is that of equation-based modeling. This root capability is unique in commercially-available codes and offers unlimited application. One specific area that requires more detail, even in the CFD Module of COMSOL®, is that ... Read More
My research group began applying microchip electrophoresis to fractionation of the rare earths more than a decade ago. The electrophoretic method we applied at microscale was isotachophoresis, which has the ability to quickly concentrate samples by several orders of magnitude while ... Read More
Droplet-based microfluidic systems are emerging as an ideal platform for the high-throughput screening of eukaryotic cells aimed to understand the complex, multidimensional, and dynamic biological processes [1]. Here, aqueous droplets – containing the eukaryotic cells – suspended in oil ... Read More
Our atmosphere, land, and water are being continuously besieged by pollutants caused by such events as heavy metals leaching from mine tailing ponds, chemical spills from railroad and truck tanker accidents, and petroleum pipeline failures, to name just a few. These environmental insults ... Read More
Plasmonic-based biosensors have emerged as a powerful, cost effective and portable platform for phatogen and biomarker detection. In particular, Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) based systems, which rely on resonance shift tracking, present high sensitivity, specificity and ... Read More
Numerous adsorptive media have been evaluated for the removal of inorganic contaminants in water, such as harmful heavy metals, toxic oxyanions, and radioactive species. Due to the complexity of water chemistry and chemical reactions at adsorptive media surface, lab-scale adsorption ... Read More
A lot of experiments and simulations have been performed by various research groupsin the area of collision of a liquid drop with liquid or solid surface, but most of thestudies have been performed for an open environment (external coalescence). In thepresent work, we have numerically ... Read More
