Acoustic fields and microfluidic patterning around embedded micro-structures subject to surface acoustic waves

Interactions between substrate waves and microchannel walls generate spatially localized periodic acoustic forces for microscale patterning activities. We develop analytical models that can be readily applied to predict this periodicity.

Upgrading well plates using open microfluidic patterning

We developed an open microfluidic hydrogel-patterning technology that creates networks of cell culture chambers in well plates for multiculture experiments.
