The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune surveillance, fluid balance, and the transport of immune cells. Lymph nodes, acting as filtration and immune activation hubs, are essential in detecting and responding to pathogens. Computational modeling of lymph node function offers ... Read More
Problem Statement Topical ophthalmic formulations must achieve sufficient drug uptake across the corneal barrier. We investigated dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) permeation from Newtonian vehicles in an in vitro PermeaPad® 96-well plate and established an in vitro–in vivo ... Read More
Arc welding is a widely used process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. To ensure high-quality welds, it is essential to understand both the welding process and the complex interactions within the melt pool. Numerical simulation is employed as a predictive tool to ...

The modern microjet engine industry faces an ultimate constraint - a lack of physical platform for innovation, a need to completely develop new, existing technology to eventually test theory. Hence our proposal and development of a framework micro jet engine to be used as a platform for ... Read More
Microfluidic systems traditionally rely on fixed physical barriers to manipulate fluids and particles. While effective, these static structures lack the flexibility required for dynamic or multifunctional applications. In this work, recently published in Nature Photonics [1], we present ... Read More
Acoustophoresis is a promising technology for the downstream processing of microalgae biorefineries(Zhang et al., 2025). By generating acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming, it enables precise manipulation of particles within an acoustic standing field of a microfluidic chip ... Read More
The ability to separate and isolate living microparticles such as phytoplankton is crucial for biological analysis, yet remains technically demanding [1]. Traditional microseparation and isolation methods often rely on physical membranes which can only separate particles by size. While ... Read More
Understanding and controlling moisture migration is paramount in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of drug products across their entire lifecycle, from raw material receipt to final product distribution. Uncontrolled moisture migration can lead to ... Read More
Impedance spectroscopy is an established sensing methodology used in microfluidic flow cytometry systems to electrically measure cell characteristics. The fluid transport method used in most flow cytometers is continuous flow driven by external syringe or pressure regulated pumps. An on ... Read More
Clogging can occur when particulates suspended in a viscous carrier fluid flow through confined geometries. Examples include the blockage of inkjet printer nozzles in additive manufacturing processes, the clogging in medical injection devices by highly concentrated injectables, and the ... Read More
