Bio Sketch: Dr. Huang joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering as in fall, 2008. He received his B.A. degree in Physics from Cornell University in 2000, and went on to graduate school at Brown University where he received his M.S. (2003) and Ph.D. (2007) degrees in Engineering. His dissertation research focused on image-based velocimetry techniques, measurement of fluid slip velocity and nanoscale mass transport. Dr. Huang received postdoctoral research training at the Biomedical Engineering Department at Tufts University, working on projects of light scattering diagnostic techniques and flow cytometry for diseased tissues and cancerous cells. His current research interests encompass the field of micro- and nanofluidics, including optical sensing techniques, micro- and nanoscale mass transport, lab-on-a-chip systems for biomedical applications, biologically-inspired microfluidic technologies, and colloidal and adhesion dynamics of biological cells. Dr. Huang is a member of the ASME and the APS.
