Prof. assoc. Dr. Daniel Puiu POENAR, from Nanyang Technological University, EEE School, Singapore, speaks on June 28, 2022 Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) Structures for Biochemical Characterization conference

Invitation

Dear Colleagues,
On June 28, 2022, starting with 17.00, the Department of Information Science and Technology of AOSR organizes the conference “Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) Structures, for Biochemical Characterization” held by Prof. assoc. Dr. Daniel Puiu POENAR, Nanyang Technological University, EEE School, Singapore.

The conference presents, in essence, the main activity and achievements obtained by Dr. Daniel Puiu Poenar, in the field of MEMS.

The results of our own multidisciplinary research in the fields of microfluidics, microelectronics and microbiology are highlighted, highlighting the specific phenomena of sensors and microsystems used for the separation and characterization of cells and respectively for access to cellular information. Specific electronic, magnetic and optical methods for the study of biological and chemical microsystems are presented. It also describes modern manufacturing technologies, functional characteristics, as well as the possibilities of use for the latest devices and systems, products of nanosciences and nanotechnologies, from biology, medicine and chemistry.

We are honored by your participation, look forward to seeing you and invite you to join us in this important scientific event.

The conference takes place in online format with the following agenda:

1. Opening remarks by the President of AOSR, Prof. Dr. Eng. Adrian Badea
2. Presentation of the scientific lecture “Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) Structures, for Biochemical Characterization” . Author: Prof. Assoc, Dr. Daniel Puiu Poenar of Nanyang Technological University, EEE School, Singapore.
