Workshop on Capillary Micromanipulation

Which applications for fluid interfaces? 

We are delighted to invite you to the first edition of the Workshop on Capillary Micromanipulation (WCM), to be held online on 9 March 2021 from 4pm to 7pm CET. This edition will convene experts in the field of capillarity, with special focus on the applications of fluid interfaces (self-assembly, manipulation, manufacturing, and others). The workshop will feature plenary talks by recognised scientist in the field, as well as short presentations followed by a voluntary discussion to enhance the networking opportunities between young researchers.

Plenary talks:

• Karl F. Bohringer, University of Washington: Moving drops on micro-structured surfaces.
• Peer Fischer, Max Planck Institute: Interfacial flows in chemically active systems.
• Massimo Mastrangeli, TU Delft: The fluid joint: a versatile assembly tool.
• Benoit Scheid, ULB: Interfacial dynamics in liquid films and ligament stretching.

The application for short presentations is now open. If you would like to participate, please submit a one-page abstract explaining what you intend to present to our website. This section will consist in a 5-minute presentation, during which you will introduce your work, followed by a voluntary discussion time, during which each speaker will have their own virtual room to further discuss their work with interested colleagues.
