Josias Basil Wacker Doctoral Program in Microsystems and Microelectronics birth date: 17.04.1983 nationality: Suisse office(s): BM3130 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 36584 BIOGRAPHY 2008 - : Ph.D. student in LMIS2 at EPFL. 2005-2007: Master studies in biomedical engineering at ETH Zurich. Focus on molecular bioengineering. 2002-2005: Bachelor studies in mechanical engeneering at ETH Zurich. Focus on mechatronics. MISSION My work at LMIS2 deals with microdroplets and their use in the synthesis of oxide particles. Besides the application-based aspects of droplets microfluidics, I am also interested in the basics, such as double droplet formation in microfluidic chips or controlled deformation of droplets.
