Majid Ebrahimi Warkiani BSc, MSc, PhD

Dr. Warkiani is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biomedical Engineering, UTS, Sydney, Australia. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU, Singapore), and undertook postdoctoral training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, USA). He is also a member of Institute for Biomedical Materials & Devices (IBMD) and Center for Health Technologies (CHT) at UTS, a visiting scientist at the Garvan Institute for Biomedical Research as well as Translational Cancer Research Network (TCRN).

Dr Warkiani’s current research activities focus on three key areas of (i) Microfluidics involving the design and development of novel microfluidic systems for particle and cell sorting (e.g., circulating tumor cells, fetal cells & stem cells) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, (ii) Bio-MEMS involving the fabrication and characterization of novel 3D lab-on-a-chip systems to model physiological functions of tissues and organs, and (iii) 3D Printing involving the design and development of novel miniaturized systems (e.g., micromixers, micro-cyclones) for basic and applied research.
