The Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory, directed by
Professor
Brian Kirby, is a research group in the
Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
at Cornell University devoted to research on understanding and application of
micro- and nanofluidic systems. Micro-and Nanofluidics describe
fluidic regimes defined by the length scale
of the flow channels, the techniques for making the devices,
and the dominant physics.
Features
Laser microfabrication
How lasers can be combined with photopolymerization chemistry to make functional
microstructures such as membranes, valves, and tissue scaffolds
Materials testing platform for evaluating electrokinetic properties of
tissue-engineered scaffolds, housed in the
Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering
laboratory. Dynamic loading is applied to
scaffolds while electrokinetic response is measured.
