Symmetry-based nonperturbative micromanipulation in a three-dimensional microfluidic device
Gonzalez, Jeremias, and Bin Liu. 2020. “Symmetry-Based Nonperturbative Micromanipulation in a Three-Dimensional Microfluidic Device”. Physical Review Fluids 5 (4): 044202.
Congratulations, Dr. Gonzalez!
Jeremias completed his Ph.D. adventure by defending his thesis entitled 'Microflow Manipulation via Symmetries,' along with three journal publications in which he was the lead student author. What an amazing journey! Excellent talk as well! Congratulations, Dr. Gonzalez!

Symmetry-protected Micromanipulations
By embedding symmetry in a 3D microfluidic geometry (e.g., octahedral symmetry shown in the following figure), we realized distinct microfluidic functions classified by subgroups of these symmetries. These functions include a strain-free flow in 3D, which can be used for trap-free manipulations of...
