Capstone Presentation 3D - Final Project

1. Feature a design professional who has distinguished him or her self in this field

   Krisna Bhargava, materials science graduate student at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, worked as Electro-optics Research Engineer at Lockheed Martin Consulting Research Engineer in his past. Currently, he is a design engineer at Stanford Research Systems Graduate Student Researcher. He published "Discreate Elements for 3D Microfluidics" on August 21, 2014.

2. Report on industries relying on this kind of digital design...

  This is a new method to build a 3-D microfluidic system quickly and cheaply by simply. It is inspired from LEGO. 

  Microfluidic systems are used in many fields including engineering, chemistry and biotechnology to precisely manipulate small volumes of fluids for use in applications such as enzymatic or DNA analysis, pathogen detection, clinical diagnostic testing, and synthetic chemistry. It takes much time and money to produce. 
  "You test your device and it never works the first time," said Krisna Bhargava, materials science graduate student at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. "If you've grown up to be an engineer or scientist, you've probably been influenced by LEGO at some point in your childhood. I think every scientist has a secret fantasy that whatever they're building will be as simple to assemble." To simplify the way to integrate such a complex structure, by using the 3D-printed MFICs, Bhargava said, "We were able to build a working microfluidic system that day, as simple as clicking LEGO blocks together."
  Those words represent how 3D design flexible and useful is, in the field of new technology. In this case, the result is an extremely cheap, standardized, easy-to-use set of components that can quickly be assembled and re-assembled into a microfluidic system.

3. Report on industry standard software programs or "tool of digital design" used in this design field...

  He used the 3D prined MFICs. It enabled the researcher to built easily off -the-shelf or other integrated components systems.

  He concluded that this movement of using MFICs is going to be the new method in the future.

4. Report on colleges or universities offering degree programs which prepare students for career pathways in this design field.

  He is a materials science graduate student at the USC ( University of South California ) Viterbi School of Engineering. It was established in 1967, as a graduate program greeting Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy and so on.

  As a additional information, It was started being developed about 30 years ago. It has also developed for finding the better way to curing the cancer with more high possibility. It is necessary to be tiny so that it can go into bloodstream. Especially for the cancer, the tip which is called CTC Tip is being developed. On the bloodstream, its exquisite-designed absorbing ability catches tumor cells from the blood. It enable us to pick up tumor cells more safety and accurately. Microfluidic system enables us to do it.
