For my thesis, I worked with Dr Y.Y. Tsui as part of his Optics & Photonics lab. My thesis work involved creating a label-free microfluidic cytometer to distinguish and sort rare biological cells. A conventional cytometer requires cells to be "labelled" with florescent tags, which is costly and time consuming. The label-free technique eliminates this step.
