∙ Develop portable seawater desalination system using electromembrane process.∙ Lead project team for pilot-scale/industrial brine desalination and management for Arabian Gulf.∙ Develop energy-efficient pilot-scale electromembrane process and remote control system to manage brine.∙ Establish techno-economic analysis model for brine management.∙ Coordinate and supervise work of graduate students and undergraduate students in the lab.

∙ Manufactured consumable thermoplastic chip and low-cost fluid controller for point-of-care (POC) testing. (INTEK BIO Co., Ltd is founded based on this technology with a product, ABSOL.)∙ Managed project with 20 professors and graduate students from 3 teams (probe, sensor, and chip) for integrated low-abundance molecular sensing system.∙ Developed electromembrane process to detect low-abundance molecules including influenza viruses, and performed numerical analysis to understand governing electro-kinetic phenomena.∙ Implemented dispersed electrospun-nanofiber for selective capture and culture of circulating tumor cells.∙ Investigated angiogenic capacity of genetically modified bacteriophage using in-vitro 3D cell culture platform and in-vivo mouse model.∙ Developed hydrogel micro-carrier for cell delivery using microfluidic chip and investigated its cellular morphogenesis for tissue repair.

∙ Supported staff scientist performing culture and purification of genetically modified bacteriophage.
