Research

I’ve been working in Professor Böhringer’s MEMS lab since April 2007.  My research has been focused on the design and characterization of novel microfluidic systems.  My current project aims at developing a robust micro-diagnostic device via electrochemistry.

In the summer of 2008 I received a NSF IREE grant which enabled me to join Fujita Sensei’s lab at the University of Tokyo for the summer.  It turned out to be a life changing experience!
