Professor Luke Lee

Biography

Professor Luke Lee is Lloyd Distinguished Professor of Bioengineering at UC Berkeley. He is also Director of Biomolecular Nanotechnology Center and Co-Director of Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center. He was Chair Professor in Systems Nanobiology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH, Zurich). He received both his B.A. in Biophysics and Ph.D. in Applied Physics/Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. His current research interests are molecular & single cell biophysics, molecular diagnostics, and Biologically-inspired Photonics-Optofluidics-Electronics Technology and Science (BioPOETS) for mobile healthcare systems. Prof. Lee has authored and co-authored over 200 papers on nanospectroscopic imaging, bionanophotonics, microfluidic quantitative biology, single cell biology, molecular diagnostics, biologically inspired optofluidic systems, BioMEMS, Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs), SQUID-based biosensors, SERS and bioelectronic nanogap sensors for label-free biomolecular detection.

Dr. Lee's research interests are biophotonics, quantum nanoplasmonics, in-vivo nanoscopy, single cell biophysics, quantitative systems biology, SERS, molecular diagnostics, BioMEMS, soft-state Biological Application Specific Integrated Circuits (BASICs), neural interfaces, and systematic neurological science and engineering by Biologically-inspired Photonics & Optofluidic Electronics Technology and Science (BioPOETS).
