System Level Modelling and Tool Chain Development for Flow-Based Microfluidic Biochips
Alexander Rüdiger Schneider: Biochips integrate several biochemical functionalities such as mixers, filters and detectors on a single chip, at sub millimeter scale. In comparison to traditional laboratories, such biochips lead to higher portability, throughput and sensitivity, while reducing sample volume consumption.
As ongoing research enables the fabrication of increasingly complex biochips, the current methodologies for chip design and synthesis techniques are no longer adequate. This PhD thesis is focused towards creating a tool-chain that automates the design process of biochips and optimizes their efficiency while in use.
