Sophisticated screens require functional and complex devices that perform exactly as designed. Effective performance characterization and predictive design of droplet microfluidic components has been hampered due to low-throughput and expensive fabrication with standard soft lithography techniques. This has limited droplet microfluidics to proof-of-concept devices. Even when some of these barriers are removed through rapid prototyping, developing a robust dataset to effectively represent all parameters as a "lookup table" is near impossible.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/MicrofluidicsDesign automationMachine learningConference materials0000-0002-1734-9634 (Lashkaripour, Ali)564785
