Project Description: Predicting and measuring timely and spatially varying colloidal magnetic nanoparticle concentration in a three-dimensional microsystem are of great engineering interest for applications including magnetic cell and exosome manipulation\/isolation and magnetic nanoparticle therapeutics. This project aims to: (1) create analytical and computational models that can predict the dynamic transport of magnetic nanoparticles in a microfluidic system that consists of a microchannel and permanent magnets; (2) develop experimental techniques that can measure the nanoparticle concentration profile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
REU Student Role and Responsibility: The REU student will work with two faculty and a graduate student to: (1) further develop an existing analytical model and create a newly-developed computational model of magnetic nanoparticle transport in order to model the timely and spatially varying concentration of nanoparticles; (2) develop experimental techniques (with the mentors) that can measure predicted concentrations in a microfluidic system; (3) analyze experimental data and the potential discrepancy between models and experiments; (4) present results on a weekly basis to the research group; (5) submit an abstract to BMES annual meeting (Atlanta GA); (6) contribute to potential journal publications.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Required skills or courses for the REU student: Ideally, the student should have a strong physics\/engineering background and have taken courses including electromagnetism, ordinary differential equation, finite element methods. The student should have experiences in working with MATLAB for modeling and simulation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Expected Outcome for REU student: The student will submit an abstract to BMES annual meeting, and co-author journal publications if the project is successful.<\/p>\n
