At the Rowland, the objective of the Dogic Lab was to understand and control the self-assembly of matter on a colloidal length scale. The basic building blocks used were colloids of chemical or biological origin with well controlled spherical or rod-like...
As the Director of Electronics Engineering at the Rowland Institute, Win oversees a fully appointed electronics engineering laboratory with instrumentation benches, an extensive suite of electronic test and measurement instrumentation, and a substantial...
At the Rowland, the over-arching goal of the Wong Lab was to investigate how biological systems work at the nanoscale, and the physical laws that govern their behavior. They developed and applied novel methods for biophysics research, with a focus on non...
Plants are able to regenerate whole body parts like roots and shoots with relative ease because they demonstrate amazing cellular plasticity. Masters of dedifferentiation, plants not only retain pools of stem cells throughout their lives, but also create...
At the Rowland, the Fischer Lab had broad interests in the interaction of optical, electric, and magnetic fields with matter. Their particular focus is symmetry breaking & chirality, ranging from the molecular to the nano/micro-scale. Their research was...
At the molecular level, physical and chemical properties of materials are tightly coupled to the mechanical properties. The potential of mechanics for interacting with matter at the nanoscale has been largely unexplored due to lack of instruments capable...
At the Rowland, Dr. Lewis investigated parasitic angiosperms; they are unusual among parasitic organisms in that they and their hosts are in the same order and are very similar physiologically. The comparable physiology of parasite and host enables the...
Joel Parks’ research projects in the Trapped Ion Dynamics Group had been designed to study the structural dynamics of nanoscale gas-phase species including small metal clusters and biomolecules, by making diffraction measurements of metal cluster symmetry...
James Foley’s research interests centered on understanding fundamental structure/function relationships pertaining to the photophysics that govern the properties and behavior of organic dyes. We use this knowledge to develop improved chromophores for use...
Howard Berg, was a Senior Fellow at the Rowland and a faculty member in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University.
Howard was appointed as a Senior Fellow by Dr. Edwin Land, the founder of the Rowland Institute, based on their shared interest in...
