KEYNOTE SPEAKERS David Quéré ESPCI - CNRS, Paris, France TUESDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 9:20-9:50 David Quéré is senior scientist at CNRS and joint professor at the École Poytechnique. His research field is interfacial hydrodynamics, ranging from surface coating to wetting of textured surfaces, self-propulsion or biomimetism. His work is motivated by scientific curiosity (superhydrophobic leaves, bird feeding or underwater spiders), but it is also strongly influenced by industrial applications (glass manufacturing, food processing, anti-adhesive coatings). His approach is based on elegant experimental setups and a description of physical phenomena through scaling law arguments. He received the CNRS silver medal in 2014 for his worldwide impact in the development of interfacial hydrodynamics. Piotr Garstecki Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland TUESDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 13:20-13:50 Piotr Garstecki is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Science, in Warsaw, Poland. He obtained MSc in Theoretical Physics from the College of Science of the Polish Academy in 1998 and PhD in Chemistry from the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS. He later conducted research as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. George Whitesides at the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department at Harvard University. He currently leads the Research Group of Microfluidics and Complex Fluids at the Institute of Physical Chemistry in Warsaw. The group conducts research on fundamental aspects of the physics of soft matter systems and develops microfluidic tools for chemistry and biology. He coauthored close to a hundred scientific publications and multiple patent applications and cofounded two spin-out companies: Scope Fluidics and Curiosity Diagnostics, both working on the use of microfluidic technologies in medical diagnostics. Metin Sitti Max Planck Insitute for Intelligent Systems, Physical Intelligence Department, Stuttgart, Germany TUESDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 16:50-17:20 Metin Sitti received the BSc and MSc degrees in electrical and electronics engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1992 and 1994, respectively, and the PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1999. He was a research scientist at UC Berkeley during 1999-2002. He is currently a director in Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart, and a professor in Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. His research interests include small-scale physical intelligence, mobile milli/microrobots, bio-inspiration, and advanced materials. He is an IEEE Fellow. He received the SPIE Nanoengineering Pioneer Award in 2011 and NSF CAREER Award in 2005. He received many best paper and best video awards in major robotics conferences and journals. He is the editor-in-chief of Journal of Micro- Bio Robotics. Stéphane Régnier Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France WEDNESDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 8:40-9:10 Stéphane Régnier is the head of the Microrobotics research group at ISIR. His research is focused on micro-robotics, micro/nano-manipulation and haptics for the micro and nanoscales. He is associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Robotics, IEEE Transaction on Robotics Letter and the International Journal of Bio-Micro-Mechatronics. He was leader of several scientific projects in France (e.g. MITEMA, PACMAN, LEMA). He was also involved in several national and European projects (e.g. NANORAC, GOLEM, REMIQUA). He is author of seven books, seven chapters of book, 80 scientific articles, seven international patents and 110 international conference papers. In 2015, he became Senior Member of the IUF (The Institut Universitaire de France). Lydéric Bocquet École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France WEDNESDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 13:40-14:10 Lydéric Bocquet is director of research at CNRS and joint professor at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. His research interests are mainly curiosity driven and extend to domains at the interface between soft condensed matter, fluid dynamics and nanoscience. He combines theory, experiments and simulations to explore the intimate mechanisms of fluid interfaces from the macroscopic down to the molecular level. His scientific objective is to harvest the unexpected fluid transport behaviors occurring at the nanoscales in order to propose new routes for energy harvesting and desalination. Beyond academically oriented topics, he also has a strong interest in every-day life science. Manu Prakash Stanford, California, USA WEDNESDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 16:10-16:40 Manu Prakash is an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford University. His approach brings together experimental and theoretical techniques from soft-condensed matter physics, fluid dynamics, theory of computation and unconventional micro and nano-fabrication to open problems in biology: from organismal to cellular and molecular scale. With his group, he design and build precision instrumentation including droplet microfluidic tools to probe and perturb biological machines and their synthetic analogues. Along the way, he invents novel technologies in global health context with clinical applications in extreme resource poor settings. Valeria Garbin Imperial College, London, UK THURSDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 9:00-9:30 Valeria Garbin is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. Her research group investigates the flow and dynamics of soft matter, using a unique combination of experimental techniques for high-precision dynamic measurements on the microscale. Her strongly collaborative research program will help address challenges including more sustainable and healthier formulated products, targeted drug delivery to cancer cells, and improved bioprocesses for energy and biopharmaceuticals production. Valeria did a postdoc in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and has held a Rubicon Fellowship in the group of Physics of Fluids at the University of Twente. She has a PhD in Nanotechnology from the Department of Physics of the University of Trieste, and a first degree in Physics from the University of Padova. In 2014 she was awarded an ERC Starting Grant. Hans-Jürgen Butt Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany THURSDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 17:10-17:40 Hans-Jürgen Butt studied physics at the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen. He received his Diploma in 1986. Then he moved to Frankfurt to work in Ernst Bamberg’s group at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics on light induced proton transport of bacteriorhodopsin. After his PhD in 1989 as a postdoc in Santa Barbara with Paul Hansma he got into contact with the newly developed atomic force microscope. From 1990-96 back in Frankfurt as a researcher he studied biological objects with the atomic force microscope. In this period the work on surfaces in particular on surface forces became a central issue. In 1996 he went to the institute for physical chemistry at the Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz as associate professor. There he focussed on the physics and chemistry of interfaces. Three years later he joined the University of Siegen as full professor for physical chemistry. In 2002 he followed a call to the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, where he is a director. His work focuses on the experimental physics of interfaces.
