RESEARCH PROFILE
In the microsystems group Sophia is doing research on the optimization of magnetic mixing in capillary-driven microfluidic applications. Magnetic actuation of micro-beads and integrated magnetic micro-actuators enhances low-target-concentration detection via providing a homogeneous platform for high precision handheld diagnostics. She tested the system with LUMABS for HIV detection.
Engineering is the art of directing natural laws for the use and convenience of human kind.
