Prof. Wu is leading a group of bright and talented students conducting
at
Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering
The University of
Tennessee, Knoxville
Since joining UTK faculty in August 2004, I have been
developing a research program --“electromechanics
for nanobiotechnology,” and trying to establish
national and international prominence of UTK in the field. I have received NSF Career Award, ORAU Junior
Faculty Award, Science Alliance and other grants to support this research
program. Within two years, the program
has expanded to seven graduate students (four PhD students).
The group, aiming to lead and emphasizing on innovation, has
produced several world’s first microfluidic devices, --a first
electrokinetic (EK) micropump for bio/ conductive
fluids, a first in-situ particle trap on microcantilevers, a biased AC
electro-osmotic micropump, with more inventions being
developed, as well as industrial interest in SBIR/STTR. Two pending patents, one provisional patent
and one disclosure have been filed through UTRF. UTK’s
pioneering contribution in this field is being recognized by the peers all over
the world, and I have been frequently solicited for seminars on our
electrokinetic research at UTK, both nationally and internationally.
My group is at the forefront of ACEK research, contributing
to both its fundamental understanding and practical applications. In this burgeoning field, only imagination is
the limit.
