Cancellation 1st International Electronic Conference on Micromachines and Applications

Due to a limited number of high quality submissions to the 1st International Electronic Conference on Micromachines and Applications, we have unfortunately had to cancel this e-conference. However, we still want to offer contributing authors the chance to present their work. As such, we invite you to submit a related paper to the 4th International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications (ECSA). Please visit the section page at:
https://sciforum.net/conference/ecsa-4.

Though the submission deadline of ECSA is over, they are still receiving and accepting contributions. The conference will be held by next week (15-30 November 2017), so if you would like to participant this event, please submit the the abstract, full paper and/or presentation immediately.

We hope to organize an e-conference dedicated solely to Micromachines at a later date. The Organizing Committee wants to thank you very much for your interest and support and would be delighted if you joined the conference and discussions at the (ECSA) from 15-30 November 2017 (https://sciforum.net/conference/ecsa-4).

Kind regards,
The Organizing Committee of ECMA

Welcome from the Chair of 1st International Electronic Conference on Micromachines and Applications

I am pleased to announce the 1st International Electronic Conference on Micromachines and Applications, which will be held on 1-15 December 2017 on this special platform, Sciforum, developed by MDPI in 2017. The conference offers a forum for the latest works on micro- and nanoscale machines. I encourage contributions on significant and original works related to all aspects of micro/nano-scaled structures, devices, systems as well as related micro- and nanotechnology ranging from fundamental research to applications. The conference is virtual and being held at Sciforum.net (https://sciforum.net/conference/ECMA-1); sponsored by the open access journal Micromachines. MDPI created this platform to organize conferences in electronic format, and to provide our research community with the technical support for hosting our digital conferences. The conference will cover the following main topics:

• A. Fundamental micro/nano phenomena
• B. Materials for micromachines
• C. Micro/nano fabrication and manufacturing technologies
• D. MEMS and NEMS
• E. Microfluidics and nanofluidics
• F. Poster section

Participation is free of charge—both for conference proceedings' authors and attendees. Accepted papers will be collated in the proceedings of the conference. There will also be a possibility to submit selected papers to the e-conference related Special Issue of the journal Micromachines, with a 20% discount on the APC (ISSN 2072-666X; Impact Factor: 1.833 (2016) www.mdpi.com/journal/micromachines).

I am looking forward to participate in exciting discussions, hearing new ideas and perspectives in the field and welcoming all participants to the online conference.

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. Nam-Trung Nguyen

Nam-Trung Nguyen received his Dip-Ing, Dr Ing and Dr Ing Habil degrees from Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, in 1993, 1997 and 2004, respectively. The habilitation degree (Dr Ing Habil ) is the qualification for a full professorship in Germany. In 1998, he was a postdoctoral research engineer in the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center (University of California at Berkeley, USA). Prof Nguyen is the First Runner Up of Inaugural ProSPER.Net-Scopus Young Scientist Awards in Sustainable Development in 2009 and the Runner Up of ASAIHL-Scopus Young Scientist Awards in 2008. He is a Fellow of ASME and a Member of IEEE. Nguyen’s research is focused on microfluidics, nanofluidics, micro/nanomachining technologies, micro/nanoscale science, and instrumentation for biomedical applications. He published over 280 journal papers and filed 8 patents, of which 3 were granted. Among the books he has written, the first and second editions of the bestseller “Fundamentals and Applications of Microfluidics” were published in 2002 and 2006, respectively. His latest book “Nanofluidics” was published in 2009. The second edition of the bestselling book “Micromixer” was acquired and published by Elsevier in 2011.
