Ty Naquin
Assistant Professor, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy
My group develops new technologies combining acoustics and microfluidics for a variety of biomedical applications including diagnostics, therapeutics, and biomanufacturing.
Ready to mentor
My research revolves around acoustics, microfluidics, and computational approaches for biological and medical applications. I develop technologies that use sound waves to manipulate, separate, and measure biological materials such as cells and viruses. I combine these engineering tools with computational approaches to create new diagnostic technologies, improve therapeutics for diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s, and develop better ways to manufacture these therapeutics.
