Erickson lab: Integrated Micro- and Nanofluidic Systems

Our research interests revolve around the study of microfluidics and nanofluidics as applied to optofluidics, biomolecular detection, biologically enabled robotics, nanomedicine, and programmable matter. Our research is inherently multidisciplinary and involves fluid and thermal dynamics, nanophotonics, nanofabrication, chemistry and biology.

Some of our major research thrusts are outlined to the right and detailed information is availiable from the research page.

New Ph.D. Opportunities

We have a number of new positions currently availiable including: 3 Ph.D. students (apply for Fall 2009). Research topics include: Optofluidics, programmable matter and autonomous microsystems. More information is availiable on the positions page.

Optofluidics at CLEO 2010

As a result of the success of the 2009 symposium, starting in 2010 Optofluidics will become part of the regular technical line-up at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-optics. More details will be provided as they become availiable.
