The Laboratory, headed by Assoc. Prof. Gilad Yossifon, focuses on studying micro/nano-fluidics as well as micro/nano-robots which include both fundamental research of transport processes within the nano and micro scale as well as application-oriented studies towards the development of novel devices and tools. Areas of studies include electrokinetic phenomena, ion transport in permselective medium (membrane, nanochannel), dielectrophoresis, lab-on-a-chip devices based on electrokinetic biomolecule preconcentration, wearable electronics, microfluidic cooling of electronic devices, active (self-propelling) particles, micro- and nano-robots for bioengineering and biomolecular applications.
