Research in bacterial mechanics with the Hernandez Research Group. Nanofabrication techniques (DUV lithography, dry etching, sputter deposition, fusion bonding) were used to fabricate submicron tapered channels in fused silica. Microfluidic device characterization with SEM, AFM, and profilometer. Time lapse microscopy was used measure growth and.
