Research Summary

Research in the Voldman group builds upon various disciplines: electrical engineering, microfabrication, bioengineering, surface science, fluid mechanics, mass transport, etc. We take a quantitative approach to designing technology, using both analytical and numerical modeling to gain fundamental understanding of the technologies that we create. We then take these designs through microfabrication to packaging and testing and to biological assay.

The Voldman group is located in the Research Laboratory for Electronics.
