Acoustofluidics 2017

August 28-29, 2017
San Diego, California, USA

This focused meeting is being held outside the EU for the first time in its history, and is dedicated to exploring the science, engineering, and use of micro- to nanoscale acoustofluidics.

Topics of interest:

  • Nanoscale acoustofluidics
  • Microscale acoustofluidics
  • Integrated acoustofluidics devices for energy, chemical, biological, and medical applications
  • New device ideas and technologies in acoustofluidics
  • Acoustic streaming, analysis and experimentation
  • Particle and bubble manipulation, separation, and isolation
  • Flow generation mechanisms employing vibration of bubbles, particles, and textured surfaces
  • Novel methods for measuring acoustic waves, particularly at small scales
  • Phononic and mixed-mode acoustic wave devices for sensing and actuation
  • Biomechanics of vibration, and the effects of acoustic waves on tissue and cells
  • Fluid interface manipulation using ultrasound, including atomization, droplet generation, and thin films
  • Piezoelectric transducer materials and transducer designs for micro/nano acoustofluidics, including new fabrication methods and ideas
