IkechuKwu Nwaneshiudu

Research area : Microfluidics

Ikechukwu joined the group in 2008 after graduating from Haverford College with a B.S. in Chemistry. His current research efforts focus on the design and fabrication of a highlysensitive and robust optical sensor for microfluidic devices. Developing such a sensor has a wide range of applications including, environmental water quality
monitoring, lab on chip experimentation and detection.

NSF Bioenergy IGERT Fellow (2008-2011)

Tyler Andrew House

Research area : Microfluidics

Tyler joined the group in 2008 after graduating from the University of Arkansas with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a B.S. in Physics. Since then, he has begun research into the fabrication and fluid dynamics of micro-eddy devices. By developing a rigorous model of high-frequency oscillatory flow in obstructed micro-channels, he hopes to better enlighten design towards more useful engineering applications such as single-cell capture and sorting.
