Overordnede kursusmål
The course goal is to provide participants with knowledge about the
latest research within Lab-on-a-chip systems, to introduce to
critical reading of the research literature and to give the
participants presentation training.
The course will cover a wide range of subjects related to
state-of-the-art Lab-on-a-chip systems including (but not limited
to) sensing, microfluidics, fabrication, processes and devices.
The purpose of the course is to ensure that the Ph.D.-students are
well-informed about the state-of-the-art within LOC-systems, also
in areas they do not specialize in themselves.
The specific content of the course can change depending on the
interests of the participating students.

Kursusindhold
The course covers a wide range of subjects in the field of
Lab-on-a-Chip systems. Specific areas of interest are defined in
collaboration with the students and the teacher will ensure
broadness in the subjects. The course will include training in
literature search including citation analysis. The specific content
of the course changes from semester to semester depending on the
teachers and guests participating in the course and on the
interests of the participating students. It is expected that the
students prepare themselves for each of the presentations by
reading the articles that are to be presented each week and
relevant background material. Each session will feature a maximum
of 3 presentations of 30 minute each, followed by 30 minute
questions and discussion and a 10 minute evaluation. One of the
sessions will feature a mini-conference, where the students will
present their own work as a poster.
