Research Interests
Microfluidic device modeling
Ongoing work involves microfluidic device modeling and translation into accurate and efficient descriptions that support CAD tools for design and synthesis of biofluidic microsystems.
Electrohydrodynamic instability mechanisms in microfluidic applications
Very old work on electrohydrodynamic instability mechanisms driven by bulk fluid property gradients is being resurrected and extended in the context of microfluidic interactions.
Electromagnetic interactions
Descriptions of magnetic diffusion interactions have led to fundamental understanding of power frequency magnetic shielding principles and strategies, including multilayered shielding and simultaneous effects of flux shunting and flux redirection due to induced currents. Current work focuses on shielding that results from induced currents in large scale loops formed by structural steel.
