DESCRIPTION:Prof Philippe Renaud\nAbstract\nThe last three decades have se
 en the emergence of microtechnologies that are now the basis for the produ
 ction of billions of microsensors found in smartphones or cars. But these 
 technologies have also paved the way for other miniaturized systems for bi
 ological and medical applications. This lecture invites you on a journey i
 nto this small world that I have been exploring with my research group\, p
 articularly that of microfluidics. I will discuss some aspects of the phys
 ics of miniaturization and show you some examples of applications. I will 
 conclude my talk with some personal thoughts on interdisciplinary research
  and knowledge transfer.\n\n\nBiography\nAfter graduating in theoretical p
 hysics from the University of Neuchâtel\, Philippe Renaud obtained his Ph
 D in experimental physics on magnetism at the University of Lausanne in 19
 88\, under the supervision of Professor S. Steinemann. He then did a postd
 oc at Berkeley\, before joining H. Rohrer's group at the IBM Laboratory in
  Zurich\, where he studied magnetic and optoelectronic effects with tunnel
 ing microscopes. He then joined the CSEM in Neuchâtel. In 1994\, he was a
 ppointed assistant professor\, and later promoted to full professor\, at t
 he Department of Microtechnology of EPFL where he developed a research pro
 gram on microsystem technologies and applications in sensors\, bioelectron
 ics and microfluidics. Philippe Renaud contributed to the creation of the 
 CMi\, a large clean room infrastructure at EPFL for research in micro- and
  nanotechnology.\n\n\nRegistration here\n
