Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of California, Berkeley

The Herr Laboratory, Bioengineering Department

I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Herr Laboratory in Bioengineering Department at University of California, Berkeley. I received my PhD degree in 2010 from Cornell University under supervision of Professor Amit Lal. During my Ph.D. studies, I worked on the theory/modeling/development/testing of low power acoustical microfluidic actuators towards the realization of the portable point of care devices. More information about my research can be found here.
