Research Focused on the Study of Fluid-Force Interactions in Microsystems.

Developing various optics-based visualization techniques to understand these interactions.

Ideating Applications in Biological and Non-Biological systems based on fluid-force interactions.

Developing future nano/microfabrication techniques.

Electric field-stimulated dielectric polarization is capable of separating both ionic and non-ionic molecules.

Experiments show 2 orders of magnitude bigger driving force/separation efficiency than any theoretical models available.  

Raman spectroscopy analysis of scattering intensities of solutions that undergo structural changes due to the presence of an electric field can reveal the physics behind the surprising separation efficiency in dielectric polarization-based molecular separation.

Early analysis for an ethanol-water mixture shows the effect of an electric field on the polarizability of the ethanol molecules.
