Wissenschaftliche Laufbahn und Forschungsgebiete

Destgeer's (*1990) research focuses on the development of miniaturized microfluidic 'lab on a chip' platforms for efficient manipulation of micro-objects, including cells, particles, droplets, and microorganisms, using MHz-frequency acoustic waves. Another research focus revolves around the development of newly envisioned 'lab on a particle' technology to fabricate 3D, multi-material, amphiphilic, shape-coded particles, and utilize them to spontaneously form 100s of particle-templated drops for single cell/molecule analysis within seconds.

Ghulam Destgeer studied mechanical engineering at GIK Institute, Pakistan (2010), and obtained his MS and PhD degrees in the field of acousto-microfluidics from KAIST, South Korea (2018). He conducted his postdoctoral research in the Di Carlo Lab at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In November 2020, he joined TranslaTUM as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he leads the research group “Control and Manipulation of Microscale Living Objects”.
