Composite systems that integrate microelectromechanical and microelectrofluidic (MEF) components with electronics are emerging as the next generation of system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs. However, there remains a pressing need for a structured methodology for MEFS design automation, including modeling techniques and simulation and optimization tools. Integrating top-down and bottom-up design... Read more

Biography
Tianhao Zhang, Krishnendu Chakrabarty, Richard B. Fair
"[In this textbook] microelectrofluidic systems are thoroughly explained and defined in an understandable manner (which at times is challenging in an engineering text). … highly informative in its descriptive premise of top-down modeling and simulation…This text opens up a number of directions for research into top-down design for microelectrofluidic systems. … The information contained in the book will help achieve reduced costs and design stability for microelectrofluidic systems in an automated design market."
