Professional Researcher & Microfluidics Specialist | CFD Simulation, Device Fabrication & Experimental Validation

Profile Summary

I am a biomedical engineer and scientific researcher with specialized expertise in microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip technology and CFD modeling. I design and fabricate advanced microfluidic chips for applications such as blood and plasma separation, cell culture, organ-on-chip models, mixing, and point-of-care diagnostics. Using ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics and CAD tools, I perform detailed CFD simulations (laminar flow, multiphase flow, mass transport, species diffusion) to optimize device geometry and operating conditions before fabrication. My work covers the full development pipeline: • concept generation and feasibility analysis • microchannel and chip design, CAD and layout • CFD simulations and design optimization • prototype fabrication (soft lithography, laser-cut chips, lab-on-a-chip devices) • experimental validation and data analysis In addition, I am an experienced scientific writer, preparing and editing research articles, theses, grant proposals and technical reports in microfluidics, biomedical engineering and computational modeling. I can help you: • design or improve a microfluidic/lab-on-a-chip device • run and interpret CFD simulations for your system • plan and analyze experiments • write or revise manuscripts and grant applications to publication standard.
