Biography
Dan Nicolau, who is a professor in, and the founding Chair of the Department of Bioengineering at McGill University, has a PhD in Chemical Engineering, a MS in Cybernetics, Informatics & Statistics and a MEng in Polymer Science & Engineering. He has published ~150 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, a similar number of full papers in conference proceedings and 6 book chapters. He has edited one book (with U. Muller; on microarray technology and applications), and edited or co-edited the proceedings of 25 conferences. Dan is a Fellow of the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE). Dan’s present research aggregates around three themes: (i) micro/nano-structured surfaces for micro/nano-arrays fabricated via classical microlithography, micro-ablation and Atomic Force Microscopy; (ii) dynamic micro/nanodevices, such as microfluidics/lab-on-a-chip and devices based on protein molecular motors, with applications in diagnosis, drug discovery and biocomputation devices; (iii) intelligent-like behaviour of microorganisms in confined spaces, which manifests in the process of survival and growth.
