SEMINÁRIO DO GRUPO DE MICRORREOLOGIA DO IFUSP (LabM2): Microtechnology for Biomedical and Surface Acoustic Wave Research at RMIT University

This presentation will present an overview feature some of the research being done in microtechnology at RMIT in Australia. The presentation will particularly feature our research work in photonics, microfluidics and surface acoustic waves with applications in lab-on-a-chip platforms for biomedical research. The strategy of my team is to specifically look for opportunities at the boundaries between disciplines and a primary objective of this presentation is to look for opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaboration. Biography: Prof Arnan Mitchell (PhD 1999, RMIT) is the leader of the Microplatforms research group and is Chief Investigator and RMIT Node Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for ultrahigh bandwidth devices for optical systems (CUDOS), Australia. His research is highly multi-disciplinary, with more than 30 members, spanning integrated optics, photonic signal processing, functional materials, microsystems, nano materials, surface acoustic waves and lab-on-a-chip technology. He and his team focus on engineering platforms that enable fundamental scientific and biomedical breakthroughs and have produced over 300 publications with nearly 3000 citations (Scopus). Mitchell is also committed to providing a strategic bridge between fundamental science and industry, he holds a number of patents and is engaged in a number of active industry projects in the fields defence, communications and biomedical diagnostics.
