Dr Haotian Cha is a Research Fellow at Griffith University, affiliated with the School of Engineering and Built Environment - Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is currently a member of the Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute (QUATRI) since 2025, and was previously affiliated with the Queensland Micro and Nanotechnology Centre from 2021 to 2025.
Dr Cha's educational background includes a PhD in Engineering from Griffith University (January 2021-June 2024), a Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from UNSW Sydney (July 2017-December 2019), and a Bachelor of Engineering from Nanjing University of Science and Technology in China (September 2012-June 2016).
As an Early Career researcher, Dr Cha's primary research focuses on innovative Multiphysics Microfluidics technology, particularly inertial regime and dielectrophoresis (DEP), for micro/nano cell separation. His work spans several cutting-edge areas including bioparticle separation, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) liquid biopsy for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, flexible microfluidics for liquid transport, microfluidic nanoparticle synthesis, and the development of lab-on-a-chip biomedical applications. Recently, he has expanded his research into wearable devices, with emphasis on flexible microfluidic systems for liquid transport.
Dr Cha's publication record demonstrates significant expertise in microfluidics and its biomedical applications, with over 20 journal articles in high-impact publications. His recent work shows a strong trend toward practical medical diagnostics applications, particularly for cancer detection through circulating tumor cell isolation and blood cell separation technologies. He has made notable contributions to inertial microfluidics, dielectrophoresis, viscoelastic microfluidics, and nanobubble technologies, with applications spanning from clinical diagnostics to environmental remediation.
Dr Cha has received institutional support through the Griffith Sciences Early Career Researcher Travel Grant ($2,500), demonstrating recognition of his research potential. His collaborative publication pattern suggests active engagement with research teams across multiple institutions.
Dr Cha maintains professional affiliations with two major research centers at Griffith University: the Queensland Micro and Nanotechnology Centre (2021-2025) and currently the Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute (QUATRI). These affiliations position him at the forefront of advanced technology research in Australia, particularly in applying micro and nanotechnologies to solve complex biomedical and environmental challenges.
