Nanofluidics

We study the transport of liquids and macromolecules under extreme confinement. Our objectives are both to study flow physics and to develop nanofluidic devices. This is, in part, a collaborative effort with Professors Yury Gogotsi (Drexel), Jean-Claude Bradley (Drexel), and Constantine Megaridis (UIC). The effort is supported by the National Science Foundation through the NIRT program (grant NSF-NIRT 0210579) and by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Nano Institute.
