Research Interests

Bioanalytical Chemistry and Materials Chemistry 

Dr Wu¨s research focuses on the interdisciplinary frontiers of microfluidics, bioanalytical science and materials chemistry. We use the technologies in MEMS, microfluidics, soft lithography, and surface chemistry to design and provide new tools for the applications and understanding of fundamentals in materials and biological sciences, including microfluidic chemical reactors, high throughput single-cell analysis and chemical separations.
