Albert van den Berg

Professor, Nanotechnology and Lab-on-a-Chip systems; Chair, BIOS Lab-on-a-Chip Group, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

Highlight: Fabrication and characterization of FlowFET, a microdevice to control fluid flows by field-effect influence of the electrical double layer in a thin-walled microchannel. The same field-effect principle was recently applied to generate highly charged microdroplets that directly convert hydraulic energy in electrical energy.

Research: Microanalysis systems and nanosensors, nanofluidics and single cells and tissues on chips. Applications in personalized health care, drug development and development of sustainable (nano)technologies.
