Current project: Artificial Kidney
My current research is about finding the new methods for portable artificial kidney using recent microfabrication and membrane techniques.
Several recent filtration techniques such as reverse osmosis and membrane distillation have been testing. We also conduct CFD simulation, fabrication (3D printing) and experiments with a focus on the fluidic control for fouling reduction and an effective blood filtration.
