Dripping, jetting, drops and wetting:  the magic of microfluidics 

This talk will discuss the use of microfluidic devices to precisely control the flow and mixing of fluids to make drops and will explore a variety of uses of these drops. They can be used to create new materials that are difficult to synthesize with any other method.  These materials exhibit fascinating physical properties and have great potential for practical uses.  I will also show how the exquisite control afforded by microfluidic devices provides enabling technology to use droplets as microreactors to perform reactions at remarkably high rates using very small quantities of fluids.  This allows them to be used to explore fundamental properties of systems biology
