EPFL BioE Talks SERIES "From Miniaturized Assays to 3D Imaging of Microfluidic Devices"
WEEKLY EPFL BIOE TALKS SERIES
Abstract:
In this seminar, I will give an overview of the capillary-driven microfluidic systems and their portable electronic peripherals developed at IBM Research-Zurich. I will share results on the electro-actuated valves implemented in microfluidics (1), a new microfluidic concept developed for the integration of reagents (2), and a liquid painting comprising 10’000 localized sites for biochemical reactions (3). Finally, I will introduce an innovative, yet affordable, 3D microscopy system developed by Microqubic AG (Switzerland) for imaging microfluidic and semiconductor devices (4) and give a live demo.

Yuksel Temiz is a microsystem engineer specialized in microfluidic assays for POC diagnostics, sensor fabrication, and portable electronic systems. After obtaining his PhD degree from EPFL in 2012, he joined IBM Research – Zurich, where he had the opportunity to be a co-author in 25 patents and 50+ publications. Temiz was the recipient of Elsevier’s Young Investigator Award’19 in microelectronics. In 2022, he founded Microqubic AG to develop innovative laboratory instruments and 3D microscopes (https:www.microqubic.com).
