Preliminary Program subject to change
01J09 Complex and Bio-fluid Dynamics II
OverviewThis session focuses on the rheology and fluid mechanics of biological systems such as DNA, self-assembled peptides, blood, media incorporating microorganisms, etc., as well as complex fluids such as surfactants, emulsions, liquid crystals etc. Other possible topics may include the study of separation and microfluidic devices applied to biological fluids.
