And some more other things to try and figure out why my boxes are scattered
Automated DNA Test for Conservation
Hal Holmes
Integration of microfluidic technology and molecular biology to realize an automated, field-ready
DNA test for species identification to combate illegal timber and wildlife trafficking.
MEMS-enabled Metasurface Alvarez Lens
Zheyi Han
Zheyi’s research project focuses on the integration of metasurface optical elements into a micro-scale
MEMS-driven Alvarez structure to create a tunable focal length with fast switching controlled by a small
applied voltage, to address the demand for compact optical systems with tunable lenses in a wide range of
applications such as mobile, entertainment, robotics, aerospace and biomedical systems.
Timber DNA Amplification
Ana Gomez
Investigation and development of isothermal reaction chemistries and conditions to enable
amplification of DNA from timber products.
