Research Interests
The Optics and Microfluidics Instrumentation (OMI) Lab develops novel instrumentation tools based on optics, microfluidics, and the combination of these, that are aimed to be useful for carrying out both basic and applied research in science and engineering. Specifically, OMI lab has been primarily making contributions in the following three fields, with the respective application areas being:
- Optofluidics / Lab-on-a-Chip: Point-of-Care Diagnostics,
- Optical Metrology: Non-destructive Testing and Evaluation
- Microfluidic-Nanotechnology: In-situ Analyte (adulterants / pollutants) Detection.
