Meet the 2013 McLean Award Winner and his Photosynthetic Friends
Professor David Sinton is a mechanical engineer. So at first glance it seems odd his lab is full of algae. Sinton’s research has always focused on small-scale plumbing, or fluidics — the movement of fluid at the micro- and nano-scale. Traditional applications have been exclusively biomedical, and Sinton’s work before 2004 was too. His early work in energy […]
Engineering Researchers Share in $2.5 million CFI funding
