Optofluidics is a rising area of interest. It involves the integration of optical techniques with microfluidics and Lab on a chip development. At a fundamental level, research in optofluidics can be divided into three related areas: Manipulating light with fluids Manipulating fluids with light Methods for integration of optics and microfluidics

The sessions will combine invited and contributed talks, covering areas such as droplet-based lasers and optical
elements, microflow manipulation, integration of optical waveguides, and biophysical applications, etc.

Invited speakers (Preliminary): Alper Kiraz (Koc University), Dieter Braun (Ludwig Maximillian University), Jochen Guck
(Cambridge University), David McGloin (University of Dundee), Demetri Psaltis (EPFL), Roberto Ossellame (Politecnico Milano),
Yves Bellouard (Eindhoven University of Technology),  Andreu Llobera (UAB) .

Visual measurement and Inspection in nano-level manufacturing sites has been hot issue. Many good research results have been applied for industry of Semiconductor,LCD, MEMs, Nano etc. As the size of target objects is getting smaller to nano-level, machine vision systems become very unique in opto-mechatronics and algorithm.

The sessions will combine invited and contributed talks, covering the topic of machine vision for industry.
