Expanding the Microfluidic Design Automation Capabilities of Manifold: Electrophoretic Cross and Time-Domain Simulation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)Lab-on-a-chip devices are finding applications in several different fields, from point-of-care diagnostics to genome sequencing. However, lab-on-a-chip is a multidimensional field that makes it difficult for designers to ... -
Navigating the lab-on-chip manufacturability roadblock: scalable, low-cost fluorescence detection for lab-on-chip instrumentation with rapid-prototyped microfluidics
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)Miniaturisation and automation of laboratory testing protocols onto microfluidic chips (lab-on-chip technology) could revolutionise diagnostic testing, though the key challenge of integrating high levels of functionality ... -
Preliminary Development of a Microfluidic Tool for the Characterization of Molecular Machines
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-06)Transmembrane proteins cross the membranes of biological cells and perform integral cell functions that often must be described using quantum mechanics. Developing a better understanding of these quantum mechanical behaviours ... -
Rapid Prototyping Technologies for Processing of Nanomaterials with Applications to Microfluidics and Nanoelectronics
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-09)The focus of this thesis is on the processing of nanomaterials using rapid prototyping technologies. To develop the necessary skills in fabrication and electronics, a thin film microheater was developed and applied to ...
