Congratulations to Madeleine Chen for being awarded a mini-grant for her project entitled "Experimental and Computational Modeling of Flat Plate Particle Trajectories to Determine Optimal Particle Density in Helical Flows". Maddie will use COMSOL to model particles of flat rectangular shape in a helical flow apparatus. This work is in conjunction with our collaborative NSF...

Our research in collaboration with Professor William Grover's lab is now published in AIP Advances. This work demonstrates the principle of how differential densimetry can be used to determine the minute flowrates of our osmotic tranpsort device when reducing edema. We are now working to reduce the size of the device for in-vivo research. The...

The osmotic transport device (OTD) was awarded US Patent No. 10420918 on September 24, 2019 for the invention entitled "Compositions and methods for reducing traumatic edema of the central nervous system". This is a great step towards making this methodology realizable to help severe TBI and stroke patients undergoing craniectomies to improve recovery by controllably...
