Graduate Students

Steven Doria (PhD)

Steven works on developing novel electrochemical methods of microfluidic separation. Currently he is focusing on developing continuous ITP (isotachophoresis), a mobility-based separation technique which is typically done in batch. Steven holds both a BS and an MS from Johns Hopkins University, both in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
