Steven T. Wereley works on microfluidics and experimental fluid mechanics, with a strong focus on a technique he calls 'particle diffusometry' that tracks the random (Brownian) motion of tiny particles to measure things like diffusion rates, protein binding, and biosensing signals. His recent work applies this method to biomedical diagnostics, such as detecting HIV-1 RNA and SARS-CoV-2 on lab-on-a-chip devices, and combines it with machine learning (neural networks) and computational fluid dynamics to improve measurement accuracy. Students in this group would likely engage in experimental microfluidics, optical measurement techniques, and biosensor development.
