Prototyping of microfluidic systems with integrated ... - DTU Nanotech

Acknowledgements
Many people have helped me with a lot of things during this Ph.D.
project. I am grateful to all of them.
First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Oliver Geschke, for
his help and support during the entire project. Working in the POEM
group has been a pleasure, and I wish to thank all the group members
and students that have been a part of the group for their inputs and
help.
It was a pleasure sharing my office with Gerardo Perozziello, and I
thank him for many good discussions in Italian. Also, I thank Martin
Bengtsson, Severin Dahms, and Martin F. Jensen for good roommate
discussions and collaboration.
I would like to thank Peter Schultz for contributing to my project
with nice spin coating results.
Jörg Vogel helped me out with the experimental work in the last
hectic months, and contributed with a huge amount of neatly organised
and easily digestible data, for which I am very thankful.
I am grateful for many good hours spent with Fridolin Okkels discussing
physics and life in general, and thank him for helping me out
with the theoretical aspects.
Thomas Anhøj helped me a lot with the optical measurements, and
I am indebted to him for that.
Also I would like to thank all the people at IMTEK, Freiburg for
making my stay there a success, especially Thilo Brenner for being the
reason for me ending up there, Jens Ducrée and Roland Zengerle for
supervision, and Stefan Haeberle for good discussions.
Moving to the Danish Polymer Center was facilitated by all the nice
people here. I thank all for their help and for making me feel at home
so quickly.
