The Skin We’re In: Microfluidics, Bubbles, and Healthcare Solutions with Prof. David Fernández Rivas
Episode 6
Monday, 9 March, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Fernández Rivas from the University of Twente to talk about what engineering actually means – and why you don't need a formal qualification to think like one.Professor Rivas then takes us through microfluidics and the science of bubbles – and how both are opening doors in medicine, from needle-free injections to medical tattoos.We also talk about what it looks like when researchers take their work beyond the lab, and why Professor Rivas thinks there's a real responsibility to make sure discoveries actually reach the people who need them.Key themes:What engineering really means, and who gets to call themselves oneWhy modern science needs people who can work across fieldsMicrofluidics and its role in biomedical technologyThe science of bubbles and where it leadsNeedle-free injection systems – the challenges and the breakthroughsWhen scientists become entrepreneursUSEFUL LINKSDavid's website: https://david-fernandez-rivas.com/University of Twente: https://www.utwente.nl/en/David Fernández Rivas's Book: Empathic Entrepreneurial Engineering: https://empathic-engineering.com/Bubble Gun, EU-NWO funded projects: https://bubble-gun.eu/FlowBeams: https://flowbeams.com/Events: https://futureunderourskin.com/https://david-fernandez-rivas.com/initiatives-projects-fuos/Frozen Bubbles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3Iy76DsDEjingle track (get it) provided by mobygratis.Support the show
