Ned Wingreen is a theoretical physicist and the Howard A. Prior Professor of the Life Sciences at Princeton University. He is a member of the Department of Molecular Biology and of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, where he is currently associate director.[1] He is also associated faculty in the Department of Physics. Working with Yigal Meir, Wingreen formulated the Meir-Wingreen Formula which describes the electric current through an arbitrary mesoscopic system.[2]
Education and career
Wingreen received a B.S. in Physics from California Institute of Technology in 1984.[3] Wingreen then received his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from Cornell University in 1989 as a Hertz Fellow.[4] His dissertation was titled "Resonant Tunneling with Electron-Phonon Interaction" and he was advised by John W. Wilkins.[4] He did his postdoc in mesoscopic physics at MIT. There, along with Yigal Meir, he formulated the Meir-Wingreen Formula that describes the electric current through an arbitrary mesoscopic system.[2]
In 1991 he moved to the NEC Research Institute in Princeton. At NEC, he continued to work in mesoscopic physics, but also started research in biophysics which grew into a general interest in problems at the interface of physics and biology.[5] Wingreen joined Princeton University in 2004.[6] Wingreen's current research focuses on modelling intracellular networks in bacteria and other micro-organisms, as well as studies of microbial communities.[7] He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
