Y. Wang Group

 

Kevin Beussman started to pursue his Ph.D. in Fall 2012. He obtained a B.S. from ME NDSU. When he was an undergraduate student, he participated in research activities in our group and contributed in performing experiments for droplet deformation and migration in a DC electric field. His current research project is to develop numerical algorithms for droplet generation in microfluidic devices.

Group Alumni

Chude Umeh is a Master student since Fall 2011. His B.S. is obtained from ME NDSU. His research project is to simulate the behavior of a sessile droplet in a linear electric field with applications in digital microfluidics.

Graduate Students

Ye Yao is a Master student. He joined the group in Spring 2011 after he obtained a B.S. in Materials Engineering. His current research project is to develop a high-order/high-accuracy numerical scheme for droplet motion in electrical fields. The major application is to predict the droplet behavior in digital microfluidics.

Xiaofeng Qu is a Master student focused on the algorithm development and computational investigation of double emulsions. He expects to graduate in May 2012.

Brad Traeger is a Master student since Spring 2011. He obtained his B.S. from ME NDSU and was working as undergraduate research assistant in our lab before he admitted into the graduate program. His research is focused on biofluids and hemodynamics in human heart.

Dr. Yechun Wang

Principle Investigator

Qixin Zhou is a Ph.D. student. Her research is focused on the electrochemical and topological characterization of materials, including soft materials, such as organic coatings, and metals. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the East China University of Science and Technology. Upon entering the Ph.D. program at NDSU in Fall 2009, she received a Presidential Fellowship of NDSU. She expects to graduate in May 2013.
