FIELD-PROGRAMMABLE MICROFLUIDIC TEST PLATFORM FOR POINT-OF-CARE DIAGNOSTICS
Early work in electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) devices has demonstrated their great potential in microfluidics; however, further work is needed to integrate EWOD technology into a system deployable for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. This research is aimed at providing enabling technologies …

Droplet IO : programmable droplets for human-material interaction
… system uses electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) to manipulate droplets. EWOD is a physical phenomenon where a polar droplet on a dielectric surface is attracted to a charged electrode. I constructed EWOD arrays with integrated actuation and sensing on inexpensive printed circuit boards that …

Voltage induced spreading and liquid optical devices
… to that found for electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD). Experimental observations confirm this predicted dielectrowetting behavior for the advancing static contact angle of the voltage induced spreading of a stripe of the material 1,2 propylene glycol.

The Application Of Graphene Films In Biosensing And Electrowetting
… device based on electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) using a graphene electrode. Hydrophobic surfaces of graphene facilitate self-assembly of the hydrophobic dielectric layer (Teflon). Using graphene electrode, we are able to achieve robust and reversible changes in contact angle without …

Development of a Planar Capillary Electrophoresis device coupled with dual refractive index and fluorescence detection
… the electrowetting on dielectric phenomenon (EWOD). We show that the PCE device can be successfully coupled with DMF for sample and separations, thus greatly reducing the footprint of the platform and reducing reagent consumption.Throughout this thesis, important developments of the PCE …
