Vincent Senez's Biography

Vincent Senez, Head of the Microtechnologies and Microsystems Department, IEMN - University of Lille

Dr. Vincent Senez was born in Saint Dizier, France, on June 7, 1967. He received the engineer degree from the Institut Supérieur de l'Electronique et du Numérique (ISEN), Lille, in 1990 and the PhD degree in electronics from the University of Lille in 1995. He entered the Centre de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) as a junior researcher in 1999 and was promoted to senior research scientist in 2008. From 2002 to 2004, he was a visiting scientist at the University of Tokyo in the group of Prof. Teruo Fujii. He is professor at ISEN engineer school since 2005 and head of the Microtechnologies and Microsystems Department at the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies (IEMN), University of Lille, since 2010. From 1992 to 2002, Vincent Senez was working on 2D/3D numerical modeling and simulation of residual mechanical stresses and their effects in silicon micro technologies as well as on the diagnostic and optimization of advanced silicon technologies. Vincent Senez is involved in microfluidics technologies and their applications since 2002. His current areas of interest cover liquid-surface interactions, droplet-based microfluidics and electrical biosensors for real time, label-free monitoring of bio-cellular systems.
