Prof. Tristan Gilet

Tristan Gilet obtained a MSc in Aerospace Engineering (ISAE, Toulouse) in 2004 and a MSc in Engineering Physics (ULiège) in 2005. He completed a PhD in Physics in 2009 (ULiège) on the dynamics of droplets in various contexts. He was then appointed as an instructor at the Dept. of Mathematics at MIT (Cambridge, MA) for two years. Since 2011, he is assistant professor and the head of the Microfluidics Lab at the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Liege (Belgium). The research of the Microfluidics Lab is focused on microscale flows involving surface tension, both in biological and engineering contexts. Current research projects mostly focus on drop impacts in various natural occurrences, droplet microfluidics and centrifugal microfluidics.

He said : "In the past, I worked with microfluidic chips that were hard to interface, with unreliable fluid connections, trapped air bubbles, and lengthy optical calibration. I am so impressed to see that now, thanks to the OneFlow and ModaFlow developed by LiveDrop, droplet microfluidic experiments are setup in no time with a simple, intuitive and robust interface!"
