Group description: The main goal of our research line inside AMB group is the use of computational simulation tools to help in the design and fabrication of biomimetic microfluidic devices to solve clinical relevant problems. We are interested in two different approaches, one focused in the reproduction of the cellular microenvironment using microtechnologies-microfluidics and the other focused in the study of how the mechanical stimuli of the microenvironment affect to the cellular and tissue behavior.

Description: The Fluid Dynamics laboratory focusses on fundamental and applied research, both experimental and numerical, of fluid mechanics problems related to drag reduction, energy generation, EOR, biomimetic flows, and microfluidics. In particular, the lab has developed deep know-how on flow control through the use of actuators, mostly electrohydrodynamic, and closed-loop control strategies including machine learning control. Concerning microfluidics, they specialize in electrokinetic phenomena and flow characterization through microPIV and flow visualization.
