Vincent Senez is Head of the Microtechnologies and Microsystems Department at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies, University of Lille, France. His current areas of interest cover liquid-surface interactions, droplet-based microfluidics and electrical biosensors for real-time, label-free monitoring of bio-cellular systems. Vincent Thomy is Assistant Professor in the Bio MEMS group at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies, University of Lille, France. His research is focused on electrowetting-based digital microfluidic microsystems, the interaction of liquid micro-droplets with textured surfaces, and the design and fabrication of bio-microsystems for in-vitro analysis (point-of-care diagnostics applications). Renaud Dufour is a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany. His research is focused on the development of liquid-repellent super-oleophobic surfaces and the characterization of wetting phenomena.
