Free Online Seminar: Introduction to Luminescent Imaging and Chemical Flow Control for Fluid Science

We are happy to invite you to the free online seminar "Introduction to Luminescent Imaging and Chemical Flow Control for Fluid Science" that will be delivered by Dr. Hirotaka Sakaue, Associate Professor, The Institute of Flow Physics and Control (FlowPAC), The University of Notre Dame.

Date: 3 March 2025, from 10:30 to 12 PM (Brussels)

Interdisciplinary research combining fluid science and chemistry is introduced. There are two research columns: luminescent imaging and chemical flow control. The former uses a luminescent molecule to understand unsteady flows. By using the light emission from a luminescent molecular probe, spatiotemporal information of a fluid flow can be captured. The presentation focuses on the fundamental principle of luminescent imaging and its features for unsteady flow measurements. Some examples in the unsteady flow measurement are also given. The latter uses a functional chemical to control a flow or a moving object in a flow. Two representative works using hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemicals and a hair structure will be introduced.

A short introduction to the Institute of Flow Physics and Control (FlowPAC) and the University of Notre Dame will also be given.
