AFRL – Autonomous Research Systems for Materials Development Workshop
I just attended the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) Autonomous Research Systems for Materials Development Workshop hosted by Dr. Benji Maruyama.
The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the role of automation and autonomous research in materials development. The experimental space for research development is over whelming and new tools are needed to efficiently use experiments to identify mechanisms or methods to achieve desired material properties. We worked to layout a roadmap towards this end.
One of the keynote speakers Prof. Powell from Princeton discussed a technique called the knowledge gradient. This straightforward statistical tool helps to identify the experiment that would […]
MBSTP Symposium 2014
I’ll be presenting a poster at the MBSTP (Microfluidics and Biomedical Sciences Training Program) 2014 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
This event is organized annually by and for the training fellows supported by the NIH through the MBSTP training grant. We are honored to be hosting Professor Luke Lee from UC Berkeley as the keynote speaker to discuss the various microfluidic based on chip tools he and his colleagues have developed.
I will be discussing our work on microparticle synthesis and real time detection and tracking of particles/cells in a microfluidic device.
Come join us if you can. Details: MBSTP […]
NIBIB (National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering) Conference 2014
I attended the NIBIB Conference (May 4-6) for training fellows in Washington DC and presented a poster.
We enjoyed a fascinating keynote on the Brain initiative. If you don’t know about it please follow the link. http://www.nih.gov/science/brain/
I presented our work on microparticle synthesis and real time tracking and detection of particles/cells in a microfluidic device.
Beyond sharing research the theme for training fellows was “Training in Tough Times: Mentor and Trainee Perspectives.” The agenda was intended to achieve the following:
Preparing trainees for research independence.
Career choices- How can training programs advise trainees on career choices, facilitate open discussions about different options, and prepare trainees […]

Enabling nanofabrication through rapid innovation (ENRI) Conference
From August 18-21 I attended a workshop entitled Enabling Nanofabrication for Rapid Innovation in Napa, California.
We were honored to present our work on maskless lithography and real-time identification of particles in flow:
“A FLEXIBLE SYSTEM FOR MICROFLUIDIC PARTICLE LITHOGRAPHY AND REAL-TIME SHAPE IDENTIFICATION
C. R. Oliver1 and A. J. Hart2*

Abstract
We present the design and performance of a reconfigurable optofluidic lithography system for on-demand fabrication of custom shaped polymer microparticles. The system uses a flexible optical design to enable rapid integration of complimentary components such as a digital light projector (DLP) chip. By […]
