DESCRIPTION:Prof. Wei Wang (PKU)\nEPFL/IMT - Peking University workshop on
  MEMS and related technologies\nNanofluidics is a booming research topic w
 hich studies ion transportation in nanometer sized confined space. However
 \, real application of nanofluidics faces serious challenges from difficul
 ty in surface modification\, complexity and costliness in manufacture. We 
 have developed a novel nanofluidics scheme\, named as nanofluidic crystal\
 , to address the above issues by using nanoparticle crystal (NPC) as the b
 asic functional nanostructure. Nanofluidic crystal is an ease-in-surface-m
 odification\, simple and cheap approach to establish a nanofluidic system\
 , and thereby can be used to construct various biosensing devices. Here\, 
 we theoretically analyzed the electrokinetics properties of the nanofluidi
 c crystal and developed a simple electrical model for device design and op
 timization. Preliminary applications of nanofluidics crystal in protein an
 d metal ion sensing have been demonstrated.Biography :\nDr. Wei Wang recei
 ved his Ph.D. degree at the Aerospace School\, Tsinghua University\, major
 ing in Thermal Engineering\, in 2005. He joined in the MEMS Research Cente
 r at the Institute of Microelectronics\, Peking University. Presently\, he
  is an associate professor of MEMS Research Center\, Institute of Microele
 ctronics\, Peking University. His research interests include micro/nanosca
 le heat transfer\, micro/nanofluidics and polymer micro/nanofabrication Dr
 . Wang has published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles.
