Teaching Activities
- BIOEN 552, 553: Bioengineering Applications of Microfabrication
This course is aimed at preparing graduate students to use 2- and 3-dimensional structures with features between 1mm and 0.1µm in their research with biomaterials complex liquids. It has a 3-credit lecture section and an accompanying laboratory in which PDMS devices are made for use in the students' research.
- BIOEN 573: Biosensors: Principles and Practice
A graduate level course (open to qualified undergraduates) designed to give students an in-depth acquaintance with the growing and complex field of biosensors.
- BIOEN 578: Biomembranes
A graduate course (open to qualified undergraduates), the focus of which is developing an understanding of the molecular principles that underlie the self-assembly of surfactants into natural and model biomembranes - in particular, on the relationship between the chemical structure of lipid molecules and the three dimensional aggregates that they form in water.
