Original Kurzfassung:
Microfluidics is transforming microbiology research by providing new opportunities for highthroughput
sample preparation and point-of-care diagnostics. Over the past decade, several designautomation
(synthesis) techniques have been developed for on-chip droplet manipulation. However, these
methods oversimplify the dynamics of biomolecular protocols and they have yet to make a significant impact
in biochemistry/ microbiology research, leading to a large gap between advances in biochip design and the
adoption of biochips for running biomolecular protocols. In this talk, I will explore a pathway to bridge this gap
by introducing a new paradigm for biochip design automation. I will describe synthesis solutions that use
realistic models of biomolecular protocols to address real-world microbiology applications through
cyberphysical adaptation. This talk will conclude with a vision for continued research on design-automation
and optimization methodologies for the realization of biomolecular protocols using microfluidic biochips.
