Kamlesh (Ken) Patel

Ken Patel

Senior Member of the Technical Staff, Microfluidics Department

Biography

Ken graduated from Truman State University (Formerly Northeast Missouri State University) in Kirksville, Missouri with a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Biology in 1996.

He completed his doctoral work in Analytical Chemistry under the direction of James W. Jorgenson at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in August 2001.

His thesis is titled "Continued Studies in Ultra-High Pressure Liquid Chromatography".

Current Interests

Kamlesh’s current research interests include high performance electrokinetic pumps and integration into microscale devices for high pressure liquid chromatography. Current and recent projects include a CRADA project with WATERS corporation to develop a fully integrated micro-HPLC system.
