Design and modelling of insulator-based microfluidic devices for applications in bioseparations.
The research project aims at analyzing the spatial distribution of the
electric field within electrokinetically-driven insulator-based microfluidic
devices that are regularly used to perform bioseparations. After fully
understanding the role of the insulating structures contained inside the
microchannel, new designs will have to be developed. This work will be
performed in COMSOL Multiphysics.
·
To develop computational models of current
electrokinetically-driven insulator-based microfluidic devices in COMSOL
Multiphysics to analyze the electric field spatial distribution.
·
To design new electrokinetically-driven
insulator-based microfluidic devices that will exhibit specific traits in their
electric field spatial distributions.
·
To validate those new designs in COMSOL Multiphysics.
