Electrokinetics Course
Gain mastery in electrokinetics for microfluidic and electrical systems. This course teaches prediction of particle motion, balancing of electric and fluid forces, tuning of fields and surfaces, and designing reliable strategies for separation, sensing, and control in practical applications. Explore key concepts like Brownian motion, electroosmotic flow, pressure-driven flow, nonuniform fields, dielectrophoresis, and wall effects through worked examples and time-scale estimates to build stable, efficient microfluidic systems.
