FEATURED FACULTY
My research interests lie in the interplay of physics, nanoscience and biology. I am particularly interested in developing new physical methods for quantitative imaging of nanoscale materials and biological specimens in three dimensions. I have played a major role in pioneering a three-dimensional imaging approach based upon the principle of using coherent diffraction in combination with a method of direct phase recovery called oversampling Read more.
Fact: Did you know that your DNA is very well packed?
Each of your cells contains strands of DNA with a total length of about three meters, or about nine feet and ten inches. If all your DNA molecules from one cell were tied end to end, they would reach from the floor to just about a regulation NBA basket! Nevertheless all that DNA is packed into a space, the nucleus, that is only about three millionths of a meter across. If you are viewing this on a computer screen, the smallest possible dot on this page (one pixel) would contain about two hundred cell nuclei laid end to end Read more.
