About Our Group

Welcome to our Acoustic and Optical Micromanipulation Lab! Our research activities are dedicated to exploring advanced micrometer manipulations at microscopic scales, primarily through two key techniques: optical tweezers and acoustic tweezers. Our laboratory is equipped with both single-beam and double-beam optical trapping setups, enabling us to measure forces on the order of piconewtons. Additionally, we investigate the trapping of micrometer-sized particles using acoustic standing waves. Notable research topics in our laboratory include: (I)Optimization of acoustic trapping techniques for micrometer particles, (II) Experimental studies in soft matter and biophysics, focusing on interactions near soft boundaries, viscoelastic properties, microswimmer dynamics under varying conditions, and the mechanics of biological cells, (III)Development of novel optical microscopy methods, and (IV) Theoretical and experimental investigations for optimizing optical trapping with various beam configurations.
