Hermann Eduard Gaub (born October 11, 1954 in Laupheim ) is a German biophysicist .

life and work

Gaub studied physics at the University of Ulm and the Technical University of Munich . In 1981 he obtained his diploma and in 1984 he was awarded a Dr. rer. nat. PhD. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Barbara . In 1991 he received his teaching license and in the following year he became an associate professor at the Technical University of Munich and a Heisenberg scholarship holder . Since 1995 he has been a full professor for applied physics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . In 1998 he was appointed honorary professor at Jilin University in Changchun (China).

Gaub conducts research in biophysics, specifically with the concept of molecular machines (nanomachines). He developed with Paul Hansma the AFM on and together with his team, one of only a molecule existing engine.

Gaub has been a member of the “Nanosystems Initiative Munich” (NIM) and the “Center for NanoScience” (CeNS) Munich for many years.

In 1998 Gaub was involved in founding Atomic Force F + E GmbH, which today belongs to Oxford Instruments. In 2000, Gaub won the Munich Business Plan Competition (MBPW) and founded Nanotype GmbH, which went bankrupt in 2003 . In 2002 Gaub was a co-founder of Nanion Technologies.
