Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the two winners of the 2019 Micromachines Travel Awards: Emre Kizilkan, Postdoctoral Scholar at Kiel University, Germany, and Kosuke Iwai, Postdoctoral Scholar at Sandia National Laboratories/Joint BioEnergy Institute, California, USA. The awards consist of 800 Swiss Francs each to attend any academic conference in the second half of 2019 or first half of 2020.
- Dr. Emre Kizilkan’s research involves photoresponsive polymers, bioinspired adhesives, and surface microstructuring. He will present his research “Photocontrollable Adhesion: A Bioinspired Microstructured Transport Device” at the “International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering, 16–18 September 2019, in Melbourne, Australia.
- Dr. Kosuke Iwai’s research involves droplet microfluidics, CRISPR-based gene-editing, and synthetic biology. He will present his research “A Versatile and Robust Droplet-Based Microfluidic Automation System for High-Throughput Optimization of Biosynthetic Pathways” at the 23rd International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (μTAS 2019), 27–31 October 2019, in Basel, Switzerland.
On behalf of the award committee, we would like to thank all applicants and to congratulate Dr. Emre Kizilkan and Dr. Kosuke Iwai for their accomplishment.
