As part of the platform project The Future Under Our Skin, we are looking to fill one PhD position (4 years).
The needle-free delivery of liquid jets into soft and heterogeneous substrates, e.g. human tissue, has been hindered by the need to reach specific penetration depths with energy efficient means and by liquid splash-back after impacting the substrate that causes crosscontamination between injections.
In this project, we will develop reliable techniques to study local skin dynamic properties prior to a needle-free jet injection, investigate the elastic interaction of liquid micro-droplets impacting the skin with moderate velocities, and examine the non-elastic penetration of liquid micro-droplets impacting the skin.
The research group The Mesoscale Chemical Systems is part of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, and of the Technical Medical (TechMed) Centre. The group has unique expertise in micro and nanofabrication, backed by the outstanding experimental facilities of MESA+ NanoLab. The research and valorization activities of the group encompass microfluidics, ultrasound technologies, electrochemistry and bioengineering. MCS offers a rich, multidisciplinary and very international (over a 12 nationalities) environment where experimental physics, advanced chemical processes and simulation work are applied to solve relevant societal problems, as well as curiosity-driven research.
The group is in embedded within an international network and promotes international collaboration and exchanges. In particular, this project will be in collaboration with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, and the School of Medicine in Harvard, USA.
