Conference Description

The Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

With the maturation of the microfluidics field, miniaturization has impacted the emerging technologies and applications for quantitative sciences. Highlighting both recent innovations and fundamentals of fluid physics, this seminar will showcase the cutting-edge utilization of micro-and nano-fluidic technology to further our understanding of current research problems in chemistry, physics, and biology.

The 2023 GRS provides a platform for talented students and postdocs to share and learn about the latest in microfluidics, foster new connections, and develop professional skills. Topic areas of interest include microscale fluidic phenomena, analyte detection, point-of-care diagnostics, novel measurements, material synthesis, additive manufacturing and more. The seminar includes oral presentations, poster sessions, and a mentorship session during which trainees can engage with a panel of experienced scientists.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
