Bio
Dr. Clague holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from UCSB and a M.S. & Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, from UC Davis ‘97, with a specialty in hindered transport phenomena, “ fluid flow and hindered diffusion in dilute fibrous media.” Between his B.S. and graduate studies, Dr. Clague worked for 5 years at Space Systems Loral as an R&D Materials Engineer and as the lead Engineer for the Materials Testing and Analysis Section. Following his Ph.D. work, he completed a postdoc through the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and took a position, for 9.5 years, in the Engineering Directorate at LLNL. While in the National Laboratories, Dr. Clague participated in Biodefense related work in microfludics and biodetection. During his time there, he learned new numerical approaches to characterize biotransport & Electrokinetic phenomena and bio- kinetics. In addition to scientific and technical contributions at the National Laboratory, Dr. Clague laid the groundwork the LLNL Engineering academic program, served as the first Deputy Director of the Physical Biosciences Institute and was Group Leader for the Device Modeling and Analysis Group in the LLNL Micro and Nanotechnology Center. Additionally, he served on Laboratory Directed Research and Development and, the Lawrence Fellow & Sabatical Committees. He currently serves as the Cal Poly, Biomedical Engineering Graduate Coordinator and guides research in microfluidics and biodetection.
