Cristina Plamadeala has been awarded the Best Presentation Award at the European Materials Research Society (EMRS) 2016 Fall Meeting from September 19 to 22, 2016 in Warsaw - Poland. She received the award in recognition of the Best Student Presentation in Symposium B "Bioinspired and biointegrated materials as frontiers nanomaterials VI". Her presentation was entitled "Three-dimensional laser-written structures fabricated by two-photon polymerization for wetting experiments". She reported on laser-written micro-structures with interesting wetting properties, which are inspired by features occurring at the integument of animals like flat bark bugs and moisture-harvesting lizards. Her results demonstrated that biomimetic surface micro-ornamentation can promote a directional transport of fluids, which may lead to applications in microfluidics and friction reduction. The work is part of her doctoral Thesis, which is performed in the Framework of the European FET Open project LiNaBioFluid (www.laserbiofluid.eu) under supervision of a.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Johannes Heitz and Univ.-Prof. Dr. Werner Baumgartner at the Institute of Applied Physics and the Institute of Biomedical Mechatronics of the JKU Linz.
