The German-Jordanian University GJU receives a new funded research project from the German Academic Exchange Services (DAAD) through its transformation program: German-Arab Research partnerships with partner universities in Jordan.

The project is led by Dr.Ala'aldeen Al-Halhouli from the mechatronics Engineering Department at the School of Applied Technical Sciences in partnership with Institute of Microtechnology (IMT) at Technical University Braunschweig (TU BS), Germany. Project title is:

Inertial focusing for continuous nanoparticles separation in femtosecond laser 3D micromachined  curved channels

This project proposes development of enhanced high through put nanoparticle separation devices working based on inertial focusing utilizing the 3D Femtosecond laser micromachining in glass. The successful development of such techniques would play a key activity in most industrial, biological and medical processes (i.e., purify/ concentrate particles of interest).

In addition, the project targets extensive research and training exchange activities between German and Jordanian young researchers and students to be conducted at the Nanolab @ GJU and at IMT, TU BS.
