It is not limited to current Georgia Tech students or IEN users. Anyone who is interested in starting research in the area of microfluidics or PDMS device fabrication is invited and strongly encouraged to participate.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe course, \u0022Soft Lithography for Microfluidics,\u0022 is designed for individuals interested in hands-on training in the fabrication of microfluidic devices using the soft lithographytechnique. It will be structured to assume no prior knowledge of the technologies by the participants. The agenda is evenly divided between laboratory hands-on sessions, including SU-8 master mold creation using photolithography and PDMS device fabrication in the IEN cleanroom, and supporting lectures.\u0026nbsp; The goal for this course is to impart a basic understanding of soft lithography for microfluidic applications as practiced in academia and industry.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe schedule is as follows:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJuly 21st\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E9:00 AM: Registration and Refreshments\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E9:30 AM - 10:45AM: Introduction to Microfluidics\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E10:45 AM - 11:00 AM: Break\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Soft Lithography Methods of Fabrication\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Photolithography for SU-8 Master Molds\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Hands-On Session 1 - SU-8 Master Molds Fabrication\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJuly 22\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Bioapplications in Microfluidics\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Hands-On Session 2 - PDMS Device Fabrication Part I\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Hands-On Session 3 - PDMS Device Fabrication Part II\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Project Consultations\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERates (includes lunch both days):\u0026nbsp;Industry Rate - $600; Academic and Government Rate - $300; Georgia Tech Rate - $150.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/events.r20.constantcontact.com\/register\/event?oeidk=a07ecspjvkk35b5658a\u0026amp;llr=m48bm8rab\u0022\u003ERegister for the course\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;here or contact\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:paul.joseph@ien.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EPaul Joseph\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;for more information.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Soft Lithography for Microfluidics"}],"uid":"28159","created_gmt":"2016-07-06 15:01:14","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:15:26","author":"Kelly Smith","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-07-21T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-07-21T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-07-21T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-07-21 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-07-21 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-07-21 22:00:00","rrule":"RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20160724T035959Z;WKST=SU","timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"63127":{"id":"63127","type":"image","title":"Georgia Tech\u0027s Marcus Nanotechnology Building","body":null,"created":"1449176649","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:04:09","changed":"1475894552","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:32","alt":"Georgia Tech\u0027s Marcus Nanotechnology Building","file":{"fid":"191744","name":"tae89747.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tae89747_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tae89747_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1986733,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tae89747_0.jpg?itok=IjZQhrWe"}}},"media_ids":["63127"],"groups":[{"id":"217141","name":"Georgia Tech Materials Institute"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"},{"id":"26411","name":"Training\/Workshop"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPaul Joseph, paul. \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:joseph@ien.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejoseph@ien.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
