DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nEvent Flyer\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Hyejin Moon\n\nAgenda: \nI
 n this seminar\, the speaker will discuss the integration of digital micro
 fluidics (DMF) with chemical and biological sensors\, exploring its transf
 ormative potential for sensing technologies. Digital microfluidics refers 
 to the manipulation of fluids in discretized droplets using electrowetting
 -on-dielectric (EWOD)\, a surface tension modulation technique. Unlike con
 tinuous microfluidic channels\, DMF enables precise and flexible control o
 ver individual droplets\, offering capabilities such as multiplexing\, rec
 onfiguration\, and dynamic analysis. The speaker will begin by introducing
  the fundamental principles of electrowetting-based fluid manipulation and
  its role in digital microfluidics. These principles allow for a range of 
 fluidic operations\, including droplet generation\, merging\, splitting\, 
 and transport\, which are critical for sample preparation in sensing appli
 cations. Sample preparation methods enabled by DMF include concentration\,
  extraction\, and separation\, all of which\nenhance the accuracy and sens
 itivity of chemical and biological sensors. Building on this foundation\, 
 the speaker will present examples of how DMF has been integrated with sens
 ors to achieve innovative outcomes. Case studies include sample purificati
 on for MALDI-MS\, DNA isolation\, and the development of reconfigurable io
 n-selective sensor arrays. These examples illustrate how DMF not only impr
 oves sensor performance but also expands the scope of real-time\, on-chip 
 analysis. The seminar will conclude with a discussion of future directions
  for DMF-enabled sensing platforms. By integrating digital microfluidics w
 ith advanced sensor technologies\, researchers can address complex challen
 ges in medical diagnostics\, environmental monitoring\, and pharmaceutical
  research. The speaker will highlight the potential of this interdisciplin
 ary approach to redefine sensing and fluidic systems\, bridging the gap be
 tween real-world samples and laboratory-grade analyses.\n\nVirtual: https:
