Dynamic Micro Devices Laboratory at Monash University focuses on applications of nanotechnology to both fundamental and applied problems in a wide range of fields, ranging from medical devices to energy and defence.

Our work is formulated around three main themes:

On-demand fluidics. We explore the interaction of micro/nanoscale resonators with flowing fluid media for automated, on-demand functionalities including ultrafast mixing of chemicals, high throughput screening and personalised drug delivery.

In situ spectroscopy. We are developing techniques and building devices to study chemical reactions and nucleation events in real-time at a micro-second time resolution.

Sensing We are combining new materials with nanofabrication techniques to develop portable cheap sensors which can monitor physiological signals and detect individual molecules.

  • We have a very inclusive team, currently representing 8 nationalities and diverse backgrounds (including chemistry, applied maths and engineering). We are always looking for talented PhD students and undergraduate researchers. If interested in joining us, send your CV to tuncay.alan@monash.edu.

  • We have a solid track record working with industry. Get in touch with us for any research needs related to micro/nano technologies and instrument development.
