It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Fourth Edition of the International Conference on Bioengineering and Polymer Science – 4th BPC held in the beautiful city of Brasov, Romania between the 2nd and the 5th of June 2025. The event is organized by the Advanced Polymer Materials Group, and endorsed by eBio-hub, Center of excellence in Bioengineering, National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest.
Biography
Dan Nicolau, who is a professor in, and the founding Chair of the Department of Bioengineering at McGill University, has a PhD in Chemical Engineering, a MS in Cybernetics, Informatics & Statistics and a MEng in Polymer Science & Engineering. He has published ~150 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, a similar number of full papers in conference proceedings and 6 book chapters. He has edited one book (with U. Muller; on microarray technology and applications), and edited or co-edited the proceedings of 25 conferences. Dan is a Fellow of the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE). Dan’s present research aggregates around three themes: (i) micro/nano-structured surfaces for micro/nano-arrays fabricated via classical microlithography, micro-ablation and Atomic Force Microscopy; (ii) dynamic micro/nanodevices, such as microfluidics/lab-on-a-chip and devices based on protein molecular motors, with applications in diagnosis, drug discovery and biocomputation devices; (iii) intelligent-like behaviour of microorganisms in confined spaces, which manifests in the process of survival and growth.
Short Bio
Hayden Taylor is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research seeks to invent, model, and simulate a new generation of manufacturing processes to make more efficient use of materials and energy and enable industrial decarbonization. The themes of his research are: (A) multiscale additive manufacturing, (B) contact mechanics in semiconductor manufacturing, and (C) materials and processes for sustainable construction. Hayden received a Ph.D. in EECS from MIT in 2009, and the B.A. and M.Eng. from Cambridge.
The eBio-hub Conference is organised in the frame of eBio-hub: Chair of Research Centre in Biomedical Engineering (HORIZON EUROPE Grant agreement No. 101087007) during the 23rd Romanian International Conference on Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (RICCCE23), as part of the Bioengineering & Biomedical Technologies at Mamaia, Romania, between 4 and 7 September 2024.
