Research group

Laser-Direct-Write (LDW) Technologies for Biomedical Applications

Circular cellulose paper substrate, laser-patterned

We explore the use of lasers to create sensors that can be used by a patient’s bedside to test for an underlying disease or a health condition.

Part of Photonics and optoelectronics

Over the last few years, our group has been exploring the possibility of using laser to create fluidic devices in one of the most commonly used material: paper.
