Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest academic departments in South Carolina. Our faculty's diverse research expertise crosses disciplines, often partnering with other departments and colleges within the university.

Xuan Microfluidic Laboratory

Research themes:

  • Understand the field-induced fluid flow and particle motion in engineered microchannels ranging from single straight channels to microfluidic porous media models
  • Develop theoretical and numerical models for the fundamental understanding of microscale fluid, heat, and mass transport phenomena
  • Develop new approaches to focusing, concentrating, and sorting particles and cells for lab-on-a-chip applications

Lab facility/equipment: Equipment used in Xuan Laboratory

  • Microfabrication with soft lithography: UV laser, spin coater, vacuum heater
  • Microfluidic control: high-voltage power supply, function generator, high-voltage amplifier, syringe pumps
  • Microscale visualization: Nikon inverted fluorescent microscope, CCD camera
