Kulinsky Honored with ASME Kornel F. Ehmann Manufacturing Medal

Lawrence Kulinsky

July 8, 2022 – Lawrence Kulinsky, adjunct professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, has been awarded the Kornel F. Ehmann Manufacturing Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Kulinsky attended ASME’s Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference this June at Purdue University. There he received the medal, which recognizes the best original paper submitted to ASME journals in the field of micro- or nano-manufacturing.

Kulinsky’s prize-winning paper was titled “Fabrication of Carbon Nanotube Gas Sensor Using Stepwise Dielectrophoretic Deposition onto Interdigitated Pyrolyzed Carbon Electrodes.” The research is based on guided electrokinetic micro- and nano-assembly – a technology developed in Kulinsky’s Bio- Nano- Microfabrication (BiNoM) Lab at UC Irvine. Guided electrokinetic assembly enables guided non-contact rapid assembly of micro- and nano-sized objects, which has wide-ranging applications from nano-electronics to biotechnology. In addition to micro- and nano-manufacturing, Kulinsky’s research also includes hybrid manufacturing, microfluidics, electrokinetic phenomena, personalized diagnostics and drug delivery.
