Daniel Ahmed is a second year graduate student in Engineering Science and Mechanics Department at The Pennsylvania State University. His main focus on research is on Acoustic Streaming around bubbles and different solid objects fabricated inside Microfluidics. He wants to implement this technique in Microfluidics to serve as a platform in Biotechnology. He also teaches recitation classes for E MCH 213 (Strenght of Materials). Apart from enjoying his research and teaching, he has great passion for art, music and travelling.
