**About the Editors**

**David W. Inglis** is Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at Macquarie University (Sydney Australia), where he is the leader of the Biomedical Microdevices Group. Dr. Inglis received his B.Sc. in Engineering Physics from the University of Alberta in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Electronic Materials and Devices from Princeton University in 2007. He is an expert in microfluidic particle separation and has published more than 40 journal articles which have been cited more than 2500 times in total.

**Majid Ebrahimi Warkiani** is Associate Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering at UTS, Sydney, Australia. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the prestigious SINGA scholarship from A\*STAR and undertook postdoctoral training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (SMART Centre). He is an NHMRC-CD fellow and also a member of the Institute for Biomedical Materials & Devices (IBMD) and Center for Health Technologies (CHT) at UTS.

Dr Warkiani's current research activities focus on three key areas of (i) microfluidics involving the design and development of novel microfluidic systems for particle and cell sorting (e.g., circulating tumor cells, fetal cells, and stem cells) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications; (ii) organ-on-a-chip involving the fabrication and characterization of novel 3D lab-on-a-chip systems (e.g., lung-on-a-chip, tumor-on-a-chip) to model physiological functions of tissues and organs; and (iii) 3D microprinting involving the design and development of novel miniaturized systems (e.g., micromixers, microcyclones) for basic and applied research.

**Mohammad A. Qasaimeh** is Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), Abu Dhabi, UAE, and with the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Tandon School of Engineering, New York University (NYU), New York, USA. He established the Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) in 2014, and his current research interests include developing microfluidic and MEMS devices for clinical applications and point-of-care diagnostics. Recently, Dr. Qasaimeh was awarded the Technology Innovation Pioneers (TIP) Award during the TIP 2020 Summit. Prior to joining NYUAD, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Qasaimeh completed his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering at McGill University, where he received several prestigious fellowships and awards including the NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Alexander Graham Bell Graduate Scholarship, and the FQRNT Researchers Stars Award. Dr. Qasaimeh's research has been published in many peer-reviewed journals including *Nature Communications*, *Advanced Biosystems*, *Lab on a Chip*, *iScience*, *Advanced Therapeutics*, and *Scientific Reports*. He delivered more than 30 keynote and invited lectures at national and international conferences and is actively involved in organizing several local and international conferences. Currently, he is serving as a Co-Chair at the NYU Biomedical and Biosystems Conference series and as a Program Chair of the International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS). Dr. Qasaimeh is serving as an Associate Editor with the *IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine*, a Topic Editor with the journal *Biosensors*, a Review Editor with the journal *Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology*, and an Editorial Board Member of *Scientific Reports* of the Nature Publishing Group.

**Weiqiang Chen** is Associate Professor in the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at New York University. He is the recipient of the Biomedical Engineering Society Young Innovator Award of Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (2019), the Chroma Young Investigator Award in Biomedical Engineering (2019), the Lab on a Chip Emerging Investigator Award (2018), the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Trailblazer Award (2018), the NYU Whitehead Fellowship in Biomedical and Biological Sciences (2017), the Goddard Junior Faculty Award (2017), the American Heart Association Scientist Development Award (2016), and the Baxter Young Investigator Award (2013). Dr. Chen's research interests are focused on lab-on-a-chip, biosensing, cell mechanobiology, stem cell biology, cancer biology, and immune engineering.
