Resumo

The seminar provides the methodological approach based on optical data analysis to investigate two-phase flows in micro-channel and to design innovative low-cost micro-optofluidic devices.  Design of new device by 3D-printing technologies for micro-optics and micro-fluidics integration will be discussed. It will be shown applications in the real-time detection of two-phase flow, as two immiscible fluids and cell/particle suspensions.
