The Power of One: From Single Molecule Investigations to Materials Research and beyond

【Abstract】

Single molecule spectroscopy has tremendously impacted every field in which the technique was applied, ranging from catalysis over plasmonics, polymer physics, biophysics to cell biology and DNA sequencing. Furthermore, single molecule techniques have allowed researchers to push the resolution of fluorescence microscopy past the diffraction limit. In this presentation, I will give an overview of how recent single molecule experiments and the development of new microscopy modalities in my laboratory have been have been driving developments in material science and biosciences alike.

单分子光谱学对应用该技术的各个领域都产生了巨大影响，从催化、等离子体学、聚合物物理学、生物物理学到细胞生物学和 DNA 测序。此外，单分子技术还使研究人员能够将荧光显微镜的分辨率推向衍射极限。在本次报告中，我将概述我实验室最近的单分子实验和新显微镜模式的开发是如何推动材料科学和生物科学的发展的。

【BIOGRAPHY】

Johan Hofkens received his MSc. and Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of Leuven (KULeuven). After postdoctoral research with Prof. Masuhara at Osaka University (1994-1995) and Prof. Barbara at the University of Minneapolis (1996), he rejoined the KULeuven, establishing the Single Molecule Laboratory in the group of Frans De schryver. In 2005 he was appointed Research Professor at the KULeuven and in 2008 he was promoted to full professor. His research interests are fast spectroscopy, single molecule spectroscopy & fluorescence microscopy, the development of new microscopy modes and application of these microscopy modalities in biological and materials research. He currently holds a fellow position in the MPI Mainz. Prof. Hofkens is an editor for ACS and serves on editorial boards of multiple journals. He has published more than 500 journal research papers, holds 7 patents, co-authored two books. He is an elected Member of the Flemish Academy of Science (Vlaamse Koninklijke Academie voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Kunst), of the European Academy of Science, and of Academia Europaea. He received several awards including the Award of the ‘Koninklijke Academie voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Kunst’, section Chemistry, the Grammaticakis Neumann award in Photochemistry, the ‘Prix FSR’, the Morino Lecturer award and the Otto Wolfbeis Fluorescence Prize. Prof Hofkens held the Zernike chair at the University of Groningen and holds a Chair professor position at Zhejiang University . He has mentored over 50 PhD students and over 80 postdocotoral researchers, many of which now occupy positions in academia themselves.
