Paul McEuen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul L. McEuen (* 1963 ) is an American physicist who works in nanotechnology .

McEuen graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in physics engineering in 1985 and a PhD in applied physics from Yale University in 1991 . He was a post-doctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 1992 he became Assistant Professor and in 1996 Associate Professor at the University of California, Berkeley and in 2001 Professor at Cornell University , where he has been Goldwin Smith Professor of Physics since 2008 .

He is known for researching the electronic and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and other nanostructures such as graphene , new manufacturing methods for such structures, micro- and nano-machines and building chemical and biological nanostructures (the motto of his laboratory is Anything, as long as it's small , Everything as long as it is small ). In 2002 he and his group realized a single atom transistor . He and his group demonstrated the applicability of kirigami techniques to graphene for the creation of microstructures.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2003) and a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2011) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2015). From 1992 to 1994 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and from 1992 to 1997 a Packard Fellow. In 2001 he received the Agilent Europhysics Prize . In 2017 he was one of the highly cited scholars of the Clarivate Citation Laureates .

In 2010 he published a thriller Spiral , which is about biological weapons. The book was first published in German, and in 2011 also in the USA.

In 2001, he and his colleague Lydia Sohn played a key role in the uncovering of the scientific falsification of Jan Hendrik Schön .
