About
Sahil Laheri is a pioneer at the intersection of additive manufacturing and microfluidics, with a focus on acoustofluidic MEMS. His landmark 2018 work, “Additive manufacturing of three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for acoustofluidic applications,” has garnered 39 citations and fundamentally shifted how researchers approach device fabrication. Laheri demonstrated that 3D printing can overcome the limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing, which constrains MEMS to two-dimensional structures and requires laborious post-processing. By enabling the direct fabrication of three-dimensional microfluidic systems, his research opens new pathways for integrating structural electronics with fluid handling—critical for lab-on-a-chip technologies, biomedical diagnostics, and acoustic manipulation of particles and cells. His contributions are particularly notable for advancing acoustofluidics, where sound waves precisely control fluids and particles in 3D-printed channels. Laheri’s work not only reduces manufacturing complexity but also expands design freedom, making sophisticated MEMS devices more accessible to researchers and engineers. For students and researchers, his research represents a transformative step toward fully integrated, 3D-printed microsystems that could redefine point-of-care diagnostics and micro-scale actuation.
