After the formal session closes we will adjourn, for those interested, to a nearby pub or restaurant to keep socializing and grab food (individual cheques).

About the session: Micro-nanoscale devices get the job done

How small is small? A roadroller can help build a road. A colossal crane can make a bridge. What can a piece of silicon half the width of a human hair do for us? How do we even build such devices and once we do what good are they to us? This interactive presentation will bring an overview of this area for a diverse audience. Examples from research into the many practical areas of application for this technology will be presented especially those related to the exciting area of biomedical applications.

Farrukh holds a Ph.D. in Mech. Engg. from Boston University (USA) where he developed a nanowire based biosensor which spawned the startup Femtodx in Silicon Valley. Previously as a Fulbright scholar from Pakistan he completed a masters in Mech. Engg. from Purdue University (USA). He has over seven years of working with micro-nano fabrication at leading research centers and clean rooms at Purdue, BU, Harvard and UCLA.
