Microfabrication and characterization of insulator-based microfluidic devices for applications in bioseparations.
The research project consists of the implementation (and/or)
optimization of current protocols for the fabrication of insulator-based
electrokinetically-driven microfluidic devices. Techniques to be used in this
project include photolithography and soft lithography. The purpose of the
potential requirement of optimization is to ensure that the features sizes of
the fabricated microfluidic devices closely resemble those features sizes in
the microfluidic device designs.
