Kwang W. Oh

 

Kwang W. Oh received his B.S. in physics from Chonbuk National University, Korea, in 1995, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA, in 1997 and 2001, respectively.

From March 2006, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at SUNY-Buffalo, NY, USA, as an Assistant Professor.

From 2001 to Feb 2006, he worked as a Member of Technical Staff in Bio Lab at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), Korea.

He has

(1) an excellent record of publications with more than 35 technical papers, including one topical review paper on microvalves (J. Micromech. Microeng., 16, R13–R39, 2006), and 24 patents,

(2) teaching and consulting experience as a teaching assistant in a fabrication class and as a six-sigma black belt consultant, and

(3) at least 10 years of experience in the areas of BioMEMS and microfluidics including 5-year industrial R&D experience.

 

At Samsung, he was responsible for microfluidics in developing Lab-On-a-Chip (LOC) platforms for clinical diagnostic applications. He has strong R&D skills for problem-solving in many microfluidic systems, with wide knowledge of bio-assay/device miniaturization, micro/nanostructure device design and fabrication, and bio-instrument integration and automation.

 

His research interest is small (hybrid nano & micro) science & technology, including sample-to-answer nano/microfluidic system; nanobiosensors and microactuators; world-to-chip interfacing and packaging; and single cell manipulation, sorting, and detection.
