We are happy to announce that very recently micro-/nano-fabrication specialist, Pushparani Micheal Raj, has joined our team! Coming all the way from the Lund University, Pushpa came over to strengthen the CMF and the BIRD team to facilitate the marriage between two disciplines - microfluidics and electric-field infrared spectroscopy. She is working on developing automated platform for rapid, uniform and reproducible fluid micro-channels and sample management. Pushpa is devising ways to probe most tiny sample volumes at greatest efficiently.
