The Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory, directed by
Professor
Brian Kirby, is a research group in the
Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
at Cornell University devoted to research on understanding and application of
micro- and nanofluidic systems. Micro-and Nanofluidics describe
fluidic regimes defined by the length scale
of the flow channels, the techniques for making the devices,
and the dominant physics.
