Development of an optical biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry for detection of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadFall 2013
Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

Fall 2014
Interactions between droplets were studied using two lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs). The Shan-Chen LBM, in which repulsive forces between fluids maintain phase separation, was used to simulate systems with three immiscible components. The simulations demonstrated the three equilibrium...

Fall 2011
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR's) involves the injection of external agents into the fracture networks to extract the resident crude oil in the matrix. Characteristically, these agents displace the oil by diffusion (if miscible) or spontaneous imbibition (if...

Transport and deposition of particles onto homogeneous and chemically heterogeneous porous media geometries
DownloadFall 2011
Particle transport and deposition in porous media are central to a wide gamut of natural and engineering processes. In order to establish optimal macroscopic performance, it is essential to understand the microscopic colloid transport fundamentals that ultimately manifest at the macroscopic...
