Charlie GOSSE CR CNRS , Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies Directeur de thèse Université Paris-Saclay Espace Technologique / Immeuble Discovery Route de l’Orme aux Merisiers RD 128 / 91190 Saint -Aubin, France Acknowledgements My first thanks will be given to Bruno Le Pioufle, Vincent Studer, Marie-Caroline Jullien, and Pierre-Henri Puech, members of the committee who have accepted to read my PhD manuscript and judge my work. Secondly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my thesis advisor, Charlie Gosse (C2N Marcoussis, CNRS), for his kind encouragement, clear guidance, great patience, and continuous support throughout the whole research project. His comprehension and knowledge of microfluidics, microfabrication, and numerical simulations were extremely valuable for improving the quality of my thesis and of the publications that have been written. His insightful comments and suggestions helped me to make progresses in my microfluidic studies, in the redaction of the dissertation as well as in the capture of my future career. I am also extremely grateful to Matthieu Réfrégiers (DISCO beamline, SOLEIL Synchrotron) for his invitation and for the permission to conduct my research on the TELECOM microscope. My integration in the beamline team and the financial support I have benefited for my work were much valuable. I also appreciated all the members of the Biology Laboratory and of the Chemistry Laboratory of the SOLEIL Synchrotron for their help and assistance during my experimentals. I am grateful to my collaborators, Aitana Perea-Gomez, Isabelle Migeotte, Diana Suárez-Boomgaard, Joni Frederick, Julia Vergalli, and Anne-Marie Tran, for their help and for the harmonious cooperation during my thesis period. I want to express my deep appreciation to my friends and colleagues for their support: Elsa Mazari, Anne-Claire Loüer, Hugo Salmon, Antoine Barbot, and Qiongdi Zhang, who were Ph.D students in the same laboratory than me. All the members of the C2N clean room are also deeply acknowledged for their kind guidance on the use of the machines and for the constructive exchanges and discussions we had all these years. Finally, I would like to express my great respect to my family for their warmly encouragement and continuous support. Table of content Part I.
