Summary
William Grover is an associate professor of bioengineering at UC Riverside with 15 years of experience developing low-cost, open-source instruments that measure and sort samples by fundamental physical properties. His lab invents unconventional, practical solutions—ranging from edible on-pill IDs to a density sensor inspired by a 3,000-year-old African instrument—aimed at problems like counterfeit medicines and accessible diagnostics. He couples deep experimental skills from a PhD in chemistry with tool-building software that automates microfluidic design and simulation, accelerating instrument development for diverse fields. Based in Riverside, CA, he blends research, education, and hands-on engineering to make scientific tools affordable and teachable, with an eye toward enabling any scientist or classroom to build functional devices quickly.
