Research Interests and Projects
Study fundamental optical properties of nanoparticles
and use nanoparticles to study important physical systems - specifically
nanomotors and biomolecular motors. Applying light forces
and light torques in unique ways to nanoscopic systems. Actively collaborating with biophysicists in the department to
study linear molecular motors. Using single-molecule techniques (TIRF, emccd cameras) to study the potential of aptamers (oligonucleotides) for drug delivery.More
Info
Undergraduate students: are you interested in both physics and biology? Check out the Wake Forest Concentration in Biophysics and Biochemistry. The Concentration in Biophysics and Biochemistry allows you to obtain a BA in Physics or a BA in Chemistry, with a core set of biophysics and biochemistry courses that provide a rigorous and quantitative training, while maintaining a specific focus on the biosciences. By following the outlined Track courses, you will obtain a knowledge-base that makes you highly qualified to pursue research careers in the biotechnology industry or graduate research and education in biochemistry, biophysics, or the pharmaceutical sciences. You would also be prepared for a number of non-science careers, such as those in secondary education, business, or law. With strong biochemistry and biophysics research programs in the Physics and Chemistry Departments, Wake Forest is uniquely poised to offer this integrated and comprehensive track, with a diverse offering of undergraduate research opportunities.
Graduate students: are you interested in interdisciplinary studies in biophysics and structural biology? Check out the Structural and Computational Biophysics (SCB) Graduate Track at WFU. This Track offers students the opportunity to obtain advanced degrees (Ph.D. or M.S.) in a traditional discipline (Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, or Computer Science), while receiving broad training in the interdisciplinary field of Structural and Computational Biophysics. Track faculty represent all four disciplines and include additional affiliated faculty from Biology and Biomedical Engineering.
