About me
PhD student in Micro and Nanosystems research group
Responsibilities
My current responsibility is to develop an organ-on-chip platformt to precisely and rapidly control oxygen concentrations within cell cultures. I have already published an organ-on-chip platform to control oxygen environments in three separate compartments.
Fields of expertise
My expertise is microfabrication of organ-on-chip structures. My speciality is in accomodating microfluidic devices for cell culture purposes. I also specialize in characterization of the developed organ-on-chip devices.
