Lab on a chip rare cell isolation platform with dielectrophoretic smart sample focusing, automated whole cell tracking analysis script, and a bioinspired on-chip electroactive polymer micropump
… Contactless DEP (cDEP) is a recently developed cell sorting and isolation technique that uses the DEP force by capacitavely coupling the electrodes across the channel. The cDEP platform sorts cells based on intrinsic biophysical properties, is inexpensive, maintains a sterile environment by …

Microfluidics for Cell Manipulation and Analysis
… controlled handling of the flow profile and the cells in suspension. Implementation of additional forces in the system, such as an electric field, promote further manipulation of the cells. In this dissertation, I show novel, unique microfluidic approaches for manipulation and analysis of …

Flow-Through Electroporation in Asymmetric Curving Microfluidic Channels
… macromolecules such as genes and drugs into cells. Genetic modification of the cell is critical for many cell and gene therapy techniques. Common electroporation protocols can only handle small volumes of cell samples. Also, most of the conventional electroporation methods require expensive …

Mechanics of seed-grown planar chemical gardens
… studied in confined geometries -- Hele-Shaw cells and microfluidic chips -- is presented. Studies in these geometries have been classified into three approaches: seed-growth in Hele-Shaw cells, injection-growth in Hele-Shaw cells, and co-injection-growth in microfluidic chips. Over the past …

Spectroscopic Studies of Abiotic and Biological Nanomaterials: Silver Nanoparticles, Rhodamine 6G Adsorbed on Graphene, and c-Type Cytochromes and Type IV Pili in Geobacter sulfurreducens
… nanomaterial. And although bacterial cells are on the order of 1 µm in size, the type IV pili and multiheme c-type cytochromes produced by G. sulfurreducens can be considered to be one- and zero-dimensional nanomaterials respectively. A further connection between these systems is their …
