S. M. Lindsay

Stuart Lindsay is Director of the Center for Single Molecule Biophysics (http://www.biodesign.asu.edu/centers/smb/ ) in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, a Regent’s Professor and Nadine and Edward Carson professor of physics and chemistry. He received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Manchester, UK. His research focuses on nano-scale biophysics (http://labs.biodesign.asu.edu/lindsay/). He has pioneered aspects of atomic force microscopy, particularly those related to imaging and chemical analysis in water. He holds 29 US patents and was co-founder of Molecular Imaging (now part of Agilent Technologies). He has published over 200 research papers. His textbook, Introduction to Nanoscience, has just been published by OUP. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His expertise is in bio-nanoscience, nanomeasurement and nanofabrication. Current research interests include nanoscale chemical mapping, applications of nanoscience for sustainable energy, new techniques for DNA sequencing based on electron tunneling, and nanoscale probes of epigenetic markings and cell biochemistry.
