Rate My Professor David Inglis

Inglis's research centers on microfabrication for medicine and biology, including deterministic lateral displacement separations, particle separation techniques, electro-hydrodynamics, photonics, microfluidics for high-throughput bioparticle sorting (blood cells, stem cells, plasma, microbes, fungi, and rare cells in complex mixtures), nanofluidics for protein concentration and separation, and fluorescence profiling in biology. He has produced 64 articles, 12 conference proceedings, 8 reviews, and 3 abstracts, amassing over 3,600 citations. Key publications include "Deterministic Lateral Displacement - Challenges and Perspectives" (ACS Nano, 2020), "A Review of Capillary Pressure Control Valves in Microfluidics" (Biosensors, 2021), "The fluidic resistance of an array of obstacles and a method for improving boundaries in Deterministic Lateral Displacement arrays" (Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2020), "Hydrodynamic particle focusing enhanced by femtosecond laser deep grooving at low Reynolds numbers" (Scientific Reports, 2021), "Shape-based separation of drug-treated Escherichia coli using viscoelastic microfluidics" (Lab on a Chip, 2022), "Directed evolution of biofilm production using double emulsion droplets" (Biomicrofluidics, 2026), and "Sorting nanoparticles by their optical absorption" (Applied Physics Letters, 2026). His work has significantly impacted microfluidic separations and biomedical device development.
