Conference Description

The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Physics & Chemistry of Microfluidics is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to communicate research utilizing micro- and nanofluidic devices that further physical and chemical understanding of current research problems in chemistry, physics, and biology. This seminar will bring together students and postdocs with a broad range of interests and experience, organized around the theme of research that creates improved understanding of physicochemical processes while speaking directly to the microfluidic application space.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). 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.
