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.

Johan Hofkens在鲁汶大学获得化学硕士和博士学位，之后分别在大阪大学Masuhara教授（1994-1995年）和明尼阿波利斯大学Barbara教授（1996年）处做博士后研究，他重新回到鲁汶大学，在Frans De schryver小组建立了单分子实验室。2005年，他被任命为鲁汶大学研究教授，2008年晋升为正教授。他的研究兴趣是快速光谱学、单分子光谱和荧光显微镜、新显微镜模式的开发以及这些显微镜模式在生物和材料研究中的应用。他目前在美因茨重大计划研究所（MPI Mainz）担任研究员一职。是美国化学学会（ACS）的编辑，并担任多个期刊的编委。他在期刊上发表了500多篇研究论文，拥有7项专利，合著了两本书。他当选为佛兰德科学院（Vlaamse Koninklijke Academie voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Kunst）和欧洲科学院院士。他曾获得多个奖项，包括 "Koninklijke Academie voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Kunst "化学奖、Grammaticakis Neumann 光化学奖、"Prix FSR "奖、Morino 讲师奖和 Otto Wolfbeis 荧光奖。霍夫肯斯教授曾在格罗宁根大学担任Zernike讲座教授，并在浙江大学担任讲座教授。他指导过50多名博士生和80多名博士后研究人员，其中许多人现在都在学术界任职。
