Agentic Language-to-Objective Synthesis for Optofluidic Assembly
Ivan Saraev, Elena Erben, Weida Liao +4
Light-based advanced manufacturing increasingly requires programmable, closed-loop tools that translate human design intent into executable operations at small length scales. Yet a…
Optical Micromanipulations based on Model Predictive Control of Thermoviscous Flows
Elena Erben, Ivan Saraev, Weida Liao +3
High-precision micromanipulation techniques, including optical tweezers and hydrodynamic trapping, have garnered wide-spread interest. Recent advances in optofluidic multiplexed as…
Axisymmetric thermoviscous and thermal expansion flows for microfluidics
Weida Liao, Eric Lauga
Recent microfluidic experiments have explored the precise positioning of micron-sized particles in liquid environments via laser-induced thermoviscous flow. From micro-robotics to…
Hydrodynamic mechanism for stable spindle positioning in meiosis II oocytes
Weida Liao, Eric Lauga
Cytoplasmic streaming, the persistent flow of fluid inside a cell, induces intracellular transport, which plays a key role in fundamental biological processes. In meiosis II mouse…
Natural convection in the cytoplasm: Theoretical predictions of buoyancy-driven flows inside a cell
Nikhil Desai, Weida Liao, Eric Lauga
The existence of temperature gradients within eukaryotic cells has been postulated as a source of natural convection in the cytoplasm, i.e. bulk fluid motion as a result of tempera…
