Regular biography
Alexander B. Stilgoe is a researcher in the field of optical tweezers and their applications in biophysics, nanotechnology, and materials science. His work focuses on the development and application of optical trapping techniques to study the mechanical properties of biological systems, micro-organisms, and complex materials. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of optical forces, the behavior of micro-organisms in viscous media, and the use of structured light for precise manipulation of microscopic objects. His research has been published in top-tier scientific journals, including *Nature Communications*, *Optica*, *Lab on a Chip*, and *Physical Review E*. Stilgoe has also developed computational tools and experimental techniques to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of optical tweezers experiments. His work bridges the gap between fundamental physics and practical applications in biology and engineering.
