Microfluidics





Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, chemistry, and biotechnology. In our research, we focus on the generation of micro-two-phase flow and its applications in micro-channels.

Gas-liquid two-phase flow is one of our research interests. Due to its low density, low viscosity, and high compressibility, the gas-liquid two-phase flow has quite different behaviors than those of liquid-liquid systems.

We have built up some theoretical models to uncover the physics of the generation and transportation of gas-liquid two-phase flow in micro-channels. Another line of our research deals with the generation of double-emulsions in a micro-needle system. Micro-spheres consist of wax covered by PMMA shells have been produced for further green energy applications.
