Abstract
Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) is a promising technique for the separation of mesoscopic objects of biological interest, ranging from cells to exosomes. Even though DLD has been studied for two decades, a theoretical approach for predicting the performance of DLD device is yet to be developed. The simultaneous presence of different forces acting on suspended particles makes it extremely difficult to predict experimental results quantitatively. This project aims to develop and validate a theoretical model for characterizing and predicting particle transport in nanoscale DLD devices.
