Project Description:
Come be a part of the Microdevices Lab at Whitworth. The Microdevices Lab is continuing its work on technology to miniaturize functions performed in an entire lab on a single chip. This is normally done using semiconductor processes (that require a cleanroom and very expensive), but our lab utilizes micro-3D printing instead to reduce the cost and speed of manufacturing. The past few years we have shown we can make miniaturized PCR devices, microfluidic worm sorting devices and 3D printed waveguides (or pipes for light used in quantum computing schemes). This summer we will be extending the work to explore how to make a 3D printed optofluidic biosensor combining both techniques (waveguides and microfluidics).
This project will support two student researchers where one position would ideally include an engineering or physics background and the other would require a chemistry or biology background. Come chat with Dr. Measor or visit the webpage (microdevices.whitworth.edu) to learn more.
