Steering Particles (e.g. cells) by Micro Flow Feedback Control ( vs ABEL trap, we did particle feedback control first. Details/Documentation )		Control of Electrowetting Flows with C.J Kim and Robin Garrell

Modeling Conjugated Polymer Actuator Materials with Elisabeth Smela	Feedback Control of Protein Crystalization with Steve Quake, Stanford	Control of magnets to focus drug-coated magnetic particles to deep tumors Dr. Lubbe,Germany

My group is focused on all aspects of micro-system control, from initial determination of the dominant physics, to model development, control problem statement and algorithm design, to experimental verification.

Some sample projects are shown. To learn more click on any project. Mousing-over the images will reveal the title of the projects. More projects can be found here.
