Abstract
Microfluidics is a powerful tool that allows the precise control and manipulation of microliter to nanoliter fluid volumes.
In the past two years, the Penn State Biofucntionalized NanoElectroMechanicalSystems (BioNEMS) laboratory has established microfluidic approaches as
unique platforms to achieve a fundamental understanding of multiphysics (e.g., biology, materials, fluidics, photonics, acoustics, mechanics)
at micro/nano scale and the integration and automation of complex tasks that are difficult to achieve otherwise.
This talk will summarize our progress along this line, including tunable optofluidic lens, acoustics tweezers, and active molecular plasmonics.
