William Olbricht

William Olbricht is Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University. His research applies fluid mechanics and mass transfer principles to biomedical problems including convection-enhanced drug delivery for brain disorders and blood cell behavior in microcirculation.

Key research areas:

• Convection-enhanced drug delivery to bypass blood-brain barrier
• Transport phenomena in biological tissues
• Microfabricated catheter design
• Red blood cell dynamics in disease states
• Microfluidic device development
