COMSOL simulations were designed to replicate a novel 3D-printed microfluidic device (MFD) used for online monitoring of rare earth element (REE) separation via ion exchange. Combination of modeling and experimental efforts are critical to quickly and effectively produce efficient ... Read More
Capillary filling—the autonomous wicking of liquids through hydrophilic microchannels driven by surface tension and wettability—enables pump-free fluid handling in microfluidic devices for point-of-care diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip systems, and biomedical applications. A critical design ... Read More
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 ...
