Rate My Professor Van Dau

Van Dau's research focuses on MEMS/NEMS sensors and electrofluidodynamics, encompassing mechatronics, micro-sensors and actuators, microfluidics, electrohydrodynamics, microdevices, nanofibers, flexible electronics, nanoparticles, aerosols, respiratory medical devices, and new-generation devices for environmental health and bioapplications. He has produced over 200 publications, garnering more than 3,000 citations on Google Scholar. Notable works include 'Numerical study and experimental validation of a valveless piezoelectric air blower for fluidic applications' (2015), 'Design Study of Multidirectional Jet Flow for a Triple-Axis Fluidic Gyroscope' (2015), 'A micromirror with CNTs hinge fabricated by the integration of CNTs film into a MEMS actuator' (2013), 'Polyacrylonitrile-carbon Nanotube-polyacrylonitrile: A Versatile Nanocomposite for Advanced Applications' (2021), and 'Numerical study of electrohydrodynamic atomization considering liquid wetting and corona discharge effects' (2023). His innovations have led to several US and international patents. Van Dau has secured major grants, such as the ARC Discovery Project DP240101559 ($657,966) with Professor Bernd Rehm for inhalation drug delivery systems, and contributed to projects on synthetic biopolymer-protein conjugates and microneedle manufacturing for painless drug delivery. He actively supervises postgraduate students, teaches in mechanical engineering, and serves as guest editor for special issues on advanced fabrication technologies in sensors.
