Brief

Microfluidics deals with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically sub-millimeter scale. There has been a continuously increasing interest in applying microfluidics in a wide spectrum of applications including inject printing, chemistry, material science, biology and medicine. Introduction to Microfluidics Systems is a course designed to give students the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and physics and chemistry principles associated with microfluidics systems with a special emphasis on biological and medical applications.
