As the Director of Electronics Engineering at the Rowland Institute, Win oversees a fully appointed electronics engineering laboratory with instrumentation benches, an extensive suite of electronic test and measurement instrumentation, and a substantial...
The Raayai laboratory studied the response of fluid flow to complex geometric boundaries such as textured surfaces and arrays of objects. Inspired by natural cases like ribs on shark scales and flight formation in pelicans, at the Rowland, they aimed to...
At the Rowland Institute, the Rayshubskiy lab worked at the interface between neuro-engineering and neurobiology. Using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system, they developed the fruit fly as a micro-robotics platform; and they studied...
The Feldmann Lab studies the next generation of functional materials needed for a more sustainable global energy production and consumption. For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control...
We study gene transfer agents (GTAs), a widespread but poorly understood mechanism of horizontal gene transfer. GTAs are bacterial-encoded virus-like entities that package random sections of the host genome for horizontal transfer to other cells in the...
While at the Rowland Institute, the El Baggari lab sought to understand and manipulate the properties of quantum materials, a broad class of compounds that exhibit superb electronic, magnetic and structural properties tied to the quantum-mechanical nature...
At the Rowland, the Reece Lab studied transient pressure pulses and kinetic modeling in order to understand the fundamental concepts that drive catalytic reactions on surfaces. The goal of their lab was to break down chemical transformations into their...
