Microfluidic sorting of particles, droplets and cells (SM Thesis @ MIT)

I designed, fabricated and demonstrated a microfluidic device to passively sort particles, droplets and cells of different sizes and/or deformability.
The work has been featured on the cover of Small (copyright of the magazine cover belongs to Wiley-VCH) and has resulted in a provisional patent application.

Tools used: SPICE, COMSOL, MATLAB, Photolithography, Soft lithography, Optical microscopy
