Microfluidics & Organ-on-a-chip
My research focuses on the development of advanced microfluidic and organ-on-a-chip platforms to model complex biological systems, such as cancer and skin tissues. A key goal of my work is to streamline biological experiments and enable high-throughput operations by integrating microfluidics with organotypic models.
My research centers on the development of functional biomaterials for antibacterial applications and innovative biomanufacturing approaches to engineer complex tissues.
I pioneered the ReSCUE platform (Recoverable Spheroid-on-a-Chip with Unrestricted External Shapes), enabling the precise formation of tissues, organoids, and spheroids with customizable shapes.
With my background in mechatronics, I have been drawn to automating experimental processes.
A key project was the development of "RoboWorm," a living soft microrobot (C. elegans) controlled through a closed-loop optogenetic system and patterned light illumination.
I also developed a self-driving lab that integrated microfluidics with machine learning to autonomously synthesize metal nanoparticles, optimizing the process in real time.
