Physical Acoustics Group

Welcome to the Physical Acoustics Group (Grupo de Acústica Física-GAF). The group was founded by Professor Glauber T. Silva in 2008. Our goal is to further understand ultrasonic wave interaction with microparticles and cells in microfluidic environments. The group interests include acoustofluidic (which involves acoustics, microfluidics, and microsystems design). Our research is carried out employing analytical, numerical, and experimental methods. We also seek to turn our research results into innovative technology.
