DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michael Baudoin\, Université de Lille\nAbstract: The ab
 ility to pick up and manipulate micro-objects selectively and in 3D with s
 ingle-beam optical tweezers have led to tremendous developments in physics
  and microbiology\, recognized by the Nobel prizes of S. Chu and A. Ashkin
 . Nevertheless\, optical tweezers have stringent limitations for life scie
 nce owing to (i) reported phototoxicity inducing detrimental effects on bi
 ological tissues\, (ii) their inability to operate in vivo in optically op
 aque media\, and (iii) the limited range of forces\, which can be applied 
 on biosamples (typically < 20pN). In this regard\, acoustical tweezers are
  a prominent technology since they are non-invasive\, biocompatible label-
 free and enable trapping forces several orders of magnitudes larger than t
 heir optical counterparts at same actuation power\, hence preventing delet
 erious heating. Nevertheless\, while the ability to collect particles and 
 cells at the nodes or antinodes of standing waves have been reported early
  on\, the design of selective acoustical tweezers able to pick up and mani
 pulate particles individually and in 3D has only been demonstrated recentl
 y. In this presentation\, we will show how flat\, miniaturized\, selective
 \, 3D acoustical tweezers can be designed with active holograms of specifi
 c wave structures called acoustical vortices. We will demonstrate their ca
 pabilities to trap and organize cells individually with efficiency (force 
 over power ratio) two orders of magnitude larger than their optical counte
 rpart. Finally\, we will introduce some perspectives on multiple particles
  assembly\, 3D manipulation and ultra-high frequency acoustic tweezers. We
  will conclude this talk with a refreshing glimpse of how an acoustic sour
 ce could surf on its own acoustic wave\, paving the way toward acoustic qu
 antum analogues.\n\nReferences:\n[1] M. Baudoin\, J.-L. Thomas\, R.A. Sahe

 in started his research career at Sorbonne University\, where his PhD was 
 dedicated to the linear and nonlinear propagation of acoustic waves in den
 se suspensions of microparticles. Then he joined the team of Pr. Baroud at
  LadHyx (Ecole Polytechnique) where he studied the dynamics of liquid plug
 s in microfluidic networks related to Pulmonary Obstructive Diseases. In 2
 008 he started to build his own team at Université de Lille on\nsubjects 
 at the interface between microfluidics\, acoustics and microsystems. In pa
 rticular he developed some selective holographic microtweezers able to man
 ipulate precisely individual cells and microorganisms and studied how the 
 presence of partially wetting particles can drastically modify the interfa
 cial dynamics of fluids\, leading e.g. to “everlasting” bubbles. In 20
 16 he became full Professor at University of Lille and was elected Junior 
 Fellow of Institut\nUniversitaire de France in 2019. He also co-founded a 
 startup\, Cleardrop\, on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)-mediated surface clea
 ning in 2021.
