Laboratory Methods in Microfluidics

Earned his doctorate in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Wyoming in 2013, where he developed microfluidic ELISA methods as part of his dissertation. Dr. Giri has been conducting research and instructing in the field of microfluidics for the past six years. He is currently a research scientist at Kathmandu Institute of Applied Sciences in Kathmandu, Nepal. His research interests involve developing microfluidics methods for various applications especially suitable for low resource settings
