Thomas M. Lucas graduated in 2014 from the Ph.D. program in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Louisville, USA. He is interested in microfluidics and MEMS design for biological and environmental sensing. Past and present work includes microfluidics, specifically MEMS interaction with microbubbles, sensor development for monitoring and analysis of environmental conditions, and out-of-plane MEMS fabrication and characterization for biomedical and environmental sensing applications.
