Daniel J. Ehrlich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel "Dan" Jacob Ehrlich (born June 9, 1951 in Washington, DC ) is an American engineer for optics, biomedicine and microelectronics.

Ehrlich graduated from the University of Rochester with a BA in 1973 and a PhD in Optical Engineering in 1977. From 1977 he was at the Lincoln Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the quantum electronics group. From 1984 to 1988 he was assistant leader of the microelectronics group (lithography, nanotechnology) and from 1988/89 group leader of the Submicrometer Technology Group. After that he was Senior Staff Member until 1995. From 1995 to 2009 he was visiting scholar at the MIT Center for Biological Engineering and was also senior scientist and director of the BioMEMS Laboratory at MIT's Whitehead Institute . Since 2009 he has been a research professor in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University.

In 1991 he was the founder and president of Revise Inc., which was sold to FEI Corporation in 2003 and developed equipment for the semiconductor industry. In 2000 he co-founded Network Biosystems.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, together with Thomas F. Deutsch and Richard M. Osgood, he developed techniques for chemical etching of silicon with lasers and the deposition of metals and semiconductors in chip structures with laser-induced photodissociation.

In 1979, together with Richard Osgood and Peter Moulton, he developed a UV solid-state laser, at that time the optically pumped solid-state laser with the shortest wavelength.

He developed new tools and methods for cell-based biomedical assays combining microfluidics and UV microscopy and other techniques in high-speed throughput instruments. The aim is, among other things, the application in medical diagnosis (e.g. early detection of cancer), forensics, DNA sequencing and for the development of drugs.

He has published over 240 scientific papers and holds 25 patents (as of 2013).

In 1991 he received the RW Wood Prize with Deutsch and Osgood. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America .
