==Low Cost Fun at Microscsale==


Babak Ziaie, Ph.D.

In addition to my main research thrust in biomedical microdevices, my lab frequently dabbles in performing low cost experiments to investigate simple phenomena at microscale.  These experiments usually require a single mask (or sometimes no mask at all) and frequent travels to local hardware stores.  In spite of their apparent simplicity, the theoretical explanations for some of these experiments are not trivial.  In this seminar, I will talk about several such adventures using simple materials and test set ups in areas such as dynamic ferrofluid platforms, vibrating ratchet-shaped microchannels for droplet manipulation, ferropaper actuators, frequency controlled micromotion of soft-bodied cylinders with ratchet-shaped legs, and stretchable electrodes for recording and stimulation.
