Autorenporträt
Georg Pabst received his Ph.D. in physics from the Graz University of Technology, Austria, and completed postdoctoral research at the Canadian Research Council, Chalk River, Ontario. After his return to Austria, he was a senior research officer at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and moved to the University of Graz, where he currently holds the position of assistant professor. His research is focused on the physics of biological membranes with the aim of delineating the functional role of membrane lipids in cellular transport and signaling. Norbert Küerka received his Ph.D. in biophysics from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2003. He completed his postdoctoral research at the Department of Physics, Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and as a National Sciences and Engineering Research Council visiting fellow at the Canadian Neutron Beam Centre, Chalk River, Ontario. In 2008, he joined the National Research Council of Canada, recently becoming an associate research officer. His work is focused on determining the structure of biological model membranes and unraveling the structure-function relationships in their highly complex behavior. Mu-Ping Nieh received his Ph.D. in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher-a joint position at National Institute of Standards and Technology and The Pennsylvania State University. In 2002, he joined the National Research Council, Canada, at Chalk River, Ontario. Eight years later (2010), he became an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA. His research primarily focuses on the underlying principles of spontaneous structures formed by soft materials, including lipids, polymers, and proteins, seeking a fundamental understanding of the structure-function relationship of self-assemblies. John Katsaras is a senior scientist and distinguished R&D staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He received his Ph.D. in biophysics from the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Prior to joining ORNL, he was a principal research officer at the National Research Council of Canada. He is internationally recognized for scientific contributions to the field of membrane biophysics, to materials of biological and medical relevance, and the application of x-ray and neutron scattering techniques to biologically relevant systems.
