Nanotechnologies for Synthetic Super Non-wetting Surfaces

Vincent Senez is Head of the Microtechnologies and Microsystems Department at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies, University of Lille, France. His current areas of interest cover liquid-surface interactions, droplet-based microfluidics and electrical biosensors for real-time, label-free monitoring of bio-cellular systems.

Vincent Thomy is Assistant Professor in the BioMEMS group at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies, University of Lille, France. His research is focused on electrowetting-based digital microfluidic microsystems, the interaction of liquid micro-droplets with textured surfaces, and the design and fabrication of bio-microsystems for in-vitro analysis (point-of-care diagnostics applications).

Renaud Dufour is a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany. His research is focused on the development of liquid-repellent super-oleophobic surfaces and the characterization of wetting phenomena.
