From raw substrate to fluidically verified hardware, under one roof.
My lab closes the loop between building and testing in days. I combine materials and methods freely, then verify the fluidics on the bench before a device leaves it:
- Materials & Surfaces: Glass, engineering thermoplastics, PDMS (moulded), high-resolution 3D-printed resins, hybrid cartridges, and tailored hydrophilic/hydrophobic coatings.
- In-House Validation: Precision flow control, microscopy, and benchtop actuation/sensing electronics.
- Designed with Volume in View: I design with the production process in mind and flag early what will need to change for moulding.
- Novel Processes & Integration: If your project demands atypical substrates, active actuation, or embedded sensor integration, I welcome the challenge and will develop the tooling needed to build and test it.
