Pumping liquids at small scales is challenging because of the principle of reversibility: in a viscous regime, the flow streamlines through a fixed geometry are the same regardless of flow direction. Recently we developed a class of microfluidic pump designs based on tilted flexible ... Read More
Nature inspired innovation powered many engineering innovation. For example, Bird inspired flight helped us to develop intercontinental flying long range aircraft with efficiency as comparable to transcontinental migratory birds. But, short range air travel, efficiency is much lower than ... Read More

Fluids used in biomedical microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS) devices often exhibit very different flow behavior from those in bulk solutions, which in turn affects the behavior of cells and biomolecules in the device. In this work, we investigate an integrated microfluidic system ... Read More
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be used to create topologically complex designs that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to produce using traditional methods. However, non-destructive inspection and testing of these structures is made difficult by the presence of internal or ... Read More
A quantification of spatial and temporal evolution of laser-induced plume would enhance the comprehension of high speed imaging results and allow optimizing the acquisition conditions for the emission spectroscopy. What temperature and concentrations of the evaporating species are ... Read More
The erosion of the interior of soil pipes is an important process in the fields of geomechanics and geomorphology. Soil pipes can form in water holding structures like dams and levees, and water flow through these structures becomes concentrated into the soil pipes as they evolve by the ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® with LiveLink™ for Matlab® is used for the numerical analysis of dielectric barrier discharges (DBD), which are widely used in various fields of plasma technology, such as surface processing, plasma medicine, and agriculture. The fluid model comprises balance ... Read More
In recent years, with the rise of quantum optical technologies, there has been a spurring research interest growing on single-photon emitters (SPE). To date, the focus in engineering improved SPE has been mainly towards better enhancement overlooking the tenuous manufacturing process ... Read More
