Cornell Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory
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.

Materials testing platform for evaluating electrokinetic properties of tissue-engineered scaffolds, housed in the Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering laboratory. Dynamic loading is applied to scaffolds while electrokinetic response is measured.
Schematic of paraffin-modified core of a photonic band-gap fiber. We create paraffin-like properties at the surface of the core of such photonic bandgap fibers so that we can create an atomic vapor population in the core, enabling novel nonlinear optical phenomena. Without this chemical modification, atomic vapors adhere to silica surfaces.
