Workshop 10 (Afternoon 14:00 - 17:00) Title: Inertial Microfluidics Presenters: Ian Papautsky - University of Illinois, Chicago, USA Jian Zhou - University of Illinois, Chicago, USA Target Audience: This workshop is aimed at students, post-docs and faculty, as well as R&D scientists and engineers with interest in inertial microfluidic phenomena and their biomedical applications. Learning Objectives: Inertial phenomena in microfluidic systems are of growing interest due to their ability to manipulate bioparticles. Recent studies demonstrated these effects in microchannels of various geometries, including straight, spiral, and serpentine channels. This workshop aims to expose the inertial microfluidic phenomena for applications in bioparticle separation, enrichment, and ordering. Attendees will gain a working knowledge of the fundamentals governing the inertial microfluidics, the approaches used to study these phenomena, and new ways they can be exploited. This workshop is aimed at students, post-docs, faculty, as well as R&D scientists and engineers with interest in inertial microfluidic phenomena and their biomedical applications. |
