Title: Caracterización de la migración celular in vivo y transporte de microorganismos bajo campo eléctrico




Dr. Harold Auradou

Dr. Harold Auradou is a CNRS researcher. He is a physicist and engineer, with a strong interest in the physics of complex and reactive flow in porous media. Today, his research focuses on advancing our fundamental understanding of flow of bacteria through soil, rocks and other porous media using microfluidic experiments. Research in his group combines theory, simulation and experiments that study fundamental aspects of complex and reactive flow, which then apply for problems in the areas of energy and the environment


Title: Potential of microfluidics for understanding the behavior of bacteria under gradients: application to soil bacteria.

Dra. Vania Silverio

Vania Silverio is Assistant Researcher at INESC MN, currently involved in scientifically innovative and challenging projects combining nanotechnology with simulation tools for the design, fabrication, integration and test of Microfluidic Platforms, Lab-On-Chip and Organ-on-Chip. Additionally, she has been nominated as Expert for the definition of Standards and Processes for Microfluidics .

She authored several research publications in the areas of fluid dynamics at the microscale and microfluidics device fabrication. She combines her research with service providing and advanced training, teaching and theses supervision at the Master and PhD level at Instituto Superior Técnico, ULisboa .

She holds a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering (Tecnico, ULisboa) and a Licenciatura degree in Technological Chemistry (FCUL, ULisboa).


Title: A path to standardization in microfluidics: transforming challenges into opportunities for a universal tool


Dr. Raúl Urteaga

Dr. Raúl Urteaga received the Laurea degree and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the Balseiro Institute, San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, in 2000 and 2008 respectively. Currently he is full professor at the Department of Physics, FIQ-UNL, and Researcher of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Investigations (CONICET), at IFIS, Santa Fe, Argentina. He is a founding member of the Grupo Santafesino de Microfluídica (GSaM) and is currently the director of the Bachelor's degree in Physics at the Universidad Nacional del Litoral. In the area of microfluidics he works on the development of optical methods for the study of fluid transport in mesoporous media and paper-based microfluidics.
