Professor Fan joined UF in 2003. His research focus is to develop microfluidics and BioMEMS technologies and apply them to biomedical applications. Microfluidics involves device fabrication and manufacturing, study of fluid behavior in micro-scale, and exploiting the devices for a variety of applications including point-of-care testing, environmental monitoring, and detection of pathogens in the field.
Christopher Ferraro specializes in the development sustainable, high-performance cement-based materials & carbon-dioxide produced as part of the construction involving portland cement concrete. The concrete materials research group conducts research on a wide variety issues and include efforts across cross disciplinary research efforts within civil engineering as well other departments including; Environmental, Materials, Industrial and Mechanical Engineering.
