About this collection
Kahp-Yang Suh was an extraordinarily insightful and productive scientist in the field of nanotechnology, materials science and bio-inspired systems. He published over 200 journal articles over his short academic life. We were all shocked by his untimely passing and in this issue we celebrate his contribution to microfluidics research.
