Acoustic manipulation of cells offers a label-free, contactless method for a microfluidic platform for precise cell handling, cell analysis, investigation of cell–cell interactions, and 3D cell culture applications. With few exceptions, existing acoustic manipulation chips typically use ... Read More
Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is based on electroporation, in which short, high-intensity electric pulses transiently increase cell membrane permeability [1]. PEF is used in food processing and biotechnology for applications including microbial inactivation and enhanced ... Read More
In this study we investigated and helped iterate on designs for a medical diagnostics device. It was early-stage product development with a strong focus on fast and agile iterations of initially conceptual designs and ideas, and later in the project more refined studies of the most ... Read More
This work presents a two-dimensional multiphysics model developed in COMSOL Multiphysics® to investigate magnetically influenced particle transport through a tubular flow system. The study is a proof-of-concept for a potential biomedical sensing approach in which magnetically responsive ... Read More
The Basin and Range province in western North America is known primarily for its unique topography with sharp changes in elevation and complex deformational history. There is general agreement that the structure of the Basin and Range is the result of large-scale extension and crustal ... Read More
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting roughly one in ten women, with no current cure, and existing therapies rely on systemic hormone suppressants that require daily compliance and produce significant side effects, creating a clear need for sustained-release ... Read More
Acoustics is reported to enhance fibrous filter efficiency; however, the degree of improvement against non-acoustic case is difficult to quantify in the absence of a reference model. We developed a COMSOL reference model that predicts capture efficiency across a wide range of fibrous ... Read More
Lightweight polymeric cellular solids are central to transportation, impact protection, thermal isolation, packaging, soft robotics, and biomedical systems, yet conventional foam manufacturing remains constrained by molds, multistep processing, high external energy demand, and limited ...
