About
Dr. N J Goddard is a leading innovator in the field of acoustic levitation and microfluidics, with a particular focus on contactless sample handling for chemical and biological analysis. Their most notable contribution is the pioneering development of acoustically levitated droplet arrays as a revolutionary alternative to traditional microtitre plates. In their landmark 2024 paper, Goddard demonstrated the ability to levitate and manipulate columns of droplets in parallel, integrating optical detection directly into the system. This work envisions a paradigm shift in high-throughput screening, eliminating the need for solid substrates and robotic liquid handling, thereby reducing cross-contamination and reagent waste. While the paper has garnered 2 citations to date, its conceptual novelty and potential to transform parallel reaction methodologies are already generating significant interest in the lab-on-a-chip community. Goddard’s research bridges fundamental acoustics with practical bioanalytical applications, offering a glimpse into a future where reactions occur in mid-air, free from surface interactions.
