Our research involves designing miniaturized devices for energy and analytical chemistry applications using advances in micro- and nanofabrication technology. We are also interested in understanding the transport of chemical and biological molecules as they travel through micro- and sub-micrometer scale channels. Both theoretical and experimental tools are being used in our laboratory to accomplish these research objectives. Specific projects that are currently being pursued include (1) designing new separation schemes that exploit the large surface area to volume ratio in nanoscale devices (2) designing novel proton exchange membrane structures for microfluidic fuel cells (3) designing novel microfluidic devices for enhancing the sensitivity of common immunoassays and (4) designing portable instrumentation for efficient sample pre-treatment of biological warfare agents.
