There is currently an open postdoctoral position in Attinger's Lab. See the Jobs page for more information. The numerical and experimental research in Daniel Attinger’s lab is focused on multiphase microfluidics, the dynamical behavior of several fluids or phases constrained by a micro-geometry. A coffee drop evaporating on a sheet of paper is a multiphase microfluidics system, as is the explosive vapor bubble that ejects ink out of an inkjet printer. Multiphase microfluidic systems typically exhibit multiscale heat and mass transport with transient fluid dynamics, in the presence of multiple deforming interfaces. Current micro and nanomanufacturing techniques provide novel tools to engineer multiphase microfluidic systems, with applications in manufacturing, single cell biology, bloodstain pattern analysis, energy transport and the environment. Attinger’s laboratory tries to understand, control and enhance these multiphase microfluidic transport phenomena. Typical problems in which we have built expertise are multiphase flow in microgeometries, or the impact with phase change of a single droplet on a solid wall. In 2010, we have demonstrated that appropriately micro-functionalized interfaces can enhance pool boiling heat transfer, or guide the self-assembly of nanoparticles. This website presents our teaching and research activities. You are welcome to look at our publications and people. A gallery presents some of our results.
