DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tianjin Yang\, \nDepartment of Biochemistry\, University o
 f Zurich\, Switzerland\nAbstract\nMicrofluidics allows precise control of 
 the fluid sample\, minimal sample consumption and efficient mass and heat 
 transfer. As a result\, it has emerged as a robust technology for diverse 
 applications within the chemical\, engineering and life sciences\, particu
 larly in addressing some unmet needs where traditional methods and technol
 ogies are inadequate. Here I will present the development of microfluidic 
 systems for different applications: 1) by integrating different photonic d
 etection techniques to study fast biomolecular kinetics with high throughp
 ut\, high sensitivity and high information content. 2) The development of 
 novel materials and microfabrication techniques for solvent-resistant and 
 anti-biofouling microfluidic devices. 3) Droplet-based microfluidics for t
 he synthesis of microparticles for macromolecule separation applications.\
 n\nShort Bio\nDr Tianjin Yang completed her undergraduate degree in Pharma
 ceutical Engineering at Southeast University\, Nanjing\, China. She then m
 oved to ETH Zurich\, Switzerland\, to complete her Master's degree in Medi
 cinal and Industrial Pharmaceutical Sciences. She also completed industria
 l internships at Novartis Institute for BioMedical Research and BASF. Afte
 r the internships\, she decided to return to academia and obtained her Ph.
 D. in 2018 on optofluidic systems for controlled chemical and biological e
 xperimentation under the supervision of Prof. Andrew deMello at the Instit
 ute of Chemical and Biological Engineering\, ETH Zurich. Since 2019\, she 
 has been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Benjam
 in Schuler on the development of microfluidic systems for single-molecule 
 spectroscopy to study biomolecular interactions at the Department of Bioch
 emistry\, University of Zurich.\n\n
