PhD Studentship: Predictive modelling and control of low-cost droplets for micro-engineering
University of Birmingham
Advances in manufacturing science have resulted in unprecedented research and development in the design of ‘micro-swimmers’: microscopic entities that navigate fluid environments by converting some form of energy–e.g. electrical, magnetic, acoustic, or chemical–into mechanical motion. These swimmers are expanding the frontiers of micro-engineering and can be used in tasks such as chemical analysis for medical diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, cell sorting for biological assays, and chemical sensing for enviro...
