Current projects
Ultrasonic manipulation and transport of DNA molecules in evanescent light fields
Integration of optical sensing and ultrasonic standing wave excitation using techniques and materials compatible with emerging microfluidic technology are being developed for bioanalysis applications. Methods are being developed for the detection of a number of DNA sequences in a mixture and also investigate the feasibility of using acoustic radiation forces to interrogate single DNA sequences with a high resolution.
