Shrinking the lab

Date and location 07/08/2019 Tariq Rafi Lecture Hall, Habib University

''Microsystem Technology (MST) has significantly enabled miniaturization resulting in an exponential increase of power and reach of computing devices. Over the last decade, MST has been widening its boundaries and found its use in life science applications. Fueled by the need of the point of care (POC) testing for clinical diagnostics the synergetic development of the Lab on chip micro-devices along with medical science applications are advancing the possibilities. In this talk, we shall explore the ways, 'shrinking the lab' could aid clinical diagnostics, research, and drug testing.

Hybrid Semiconductor Detectors for High Spatial Resolution Phase-contrast X-ray Imaging

Date and location 05/08/2019 Tariq Rafi Lecture Hall, Habib University

Imaging using X-ray Radiography to unravel the mysteries of complex and large geometries has been the workhorse of imaging in the twentieth century. In the past two decades, the advent of phase contrast X-ray radiography has opened the possibility of visualizing lower density materials with contrast akin to magnetic resonance imaging.
