Alireza Ahmadianyazdi's Biography


Alireza Ahmadianyazdi, Postdoctoral Scholar, University of Washington

I earned my doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2021, following a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran. During my PhD program, I conducted research on the development of optical nano-sensors using single-layer graphene for both biomedical and industrial applications such as glucose detection and flow sensors. The outcomes of my doctoral research have been published in journals such as ACS Nano and Nano Research. In 2021, I joined the Bioengineering Department at the University of Washington and began working in the laboratory of Dr. Albert Folch on the development of innovative polymeric resins and processes for additive manufacturing of high-resolution and functional microfluidic devices.

The process of stereolithographic 3D-printing (SLA) can produce highly precise microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip devices, but the resulting plastics often lack the mechanical flexibility of elastomers like poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS), which hinders the ability to create efficient microfluidic actuators. In this presentation, I introduce a new photopolymer resin, PEGDA-co-PEGMEMA, which is a blend of two monomers that can be tuned to adjust the elastic modulus of the printed plastic. This allows the plastic to reach the same level of flexibility as PDMS while retaining desirable properties of SLA-printed poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), such as low drug absorption and cytocompatibility. I will then demonstrate the potential of PEGDA-co-PEGMEMA for creating functional 3D-printed microfluidic devices by using it to create high-performance microvalves, micropumps, and microregulators with a custom multimaterial printing protocol with a desktop DLP-based SLA.
