Professor Adrian Fisher leads the Electrochemical and Micro Engineering group at the University of Cambridge's Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. His research focuses on the intersection of microfabrication, fluid dynamics, numerical simulations, and spectroscopic analysis with a strong emphasis on electrochemical methodologies. The group designs and constructs microscale reactor systems, advancing the development of (bio)chemical sensors. Using dedicated microfabrication facilities, they create flow cells with optimal sensor configurations, significantly enhancing the capabilities of sensor technology compared to traditional larger-scale methods. This research provides potential advantages such as improved experimental geometries for rapid testing and significant reduction in sample volume requirements. Applications extend to biochemical analysis, electroanalytical chemistry, and more. Computational approaches are integral to the group’s work, employing finite element simulations to predict fluid flow, calculate distribution of reactants and products, and optimize sensor configurations. Professor Fisher's endeavor is to push the boundaries of sensor technology to facilitate new methods of (bio)chemical analysis.
