MORE DETAILS: Miniaturization has fueled the semiconductor industry, bringing us incredibly small data storage elements and trendy gadgets. Professor Isaacson will discuss how nanotechnology can be used for exploration and diagnostics of living systems at the micro and nano scale. His research centers on biomedical applications, such as, how the extension of these tools might be used for neural prosthetic devices to restore brain function.
Michael Isaacson is the Narinder Singh Kapany Professor of Optoelectronics at UC Santa Cruz and Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the Baskin School of Engineering. He has received numerous awards for his work in developing novel tools for the exploration of the micro and nano world including the Burton Medal, an Alexander von Humboldt Award, and the Rank Prize.
