Lydia
Lee Sohn received both her undergraduate (1988) and doctoral
(1992) degrees from Harvard University. Her doctoral thesis
was based on work performed in Prof. M. Tinkham’s laboratory
on arrays of superconducting Josephson junctions. From 1992-1993,
she was an NSF/NATO postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof.
dr. J. E. Mooij at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
and investigated the quantum electron transport properties
in superconducting arrays. From 1993-1995, she was an AT&T
postdoctoral fellow in the Semiconductor Physics Dept. at
AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ. At Bell Labs,
Sohn developed a new technique for achieving sub-50 nm nanostructures
using an atomic force microscope. From 1995-2003, Sohn was
an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department at Princeton
University. Her work ranged from investigating the electron
transport properties of various biological systems to developing
novel electronic sensors for microfluidic devices. Since 2003,
Sohn has been an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering
Dept. at the University of California, Berkeley. Sohn continues
to investigate the electron transport properties of various
biological systems and develop novel electronic sensors for
microfluidic devices.
Sohn has been recognized for her achievements
in the nanotechnology area with numerous awards. To highlight
only a few: the Army Research Office Young Investigator Award
(1997-2000); the NSF Faculty Career Early Development Award
(1996-2000); the DuPont Young Professor Award (1996); and
the AT&T and Lucent Technologies Foundation Award (1996).
She has served on numerous panels for the National Science
Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National
Research Council, and DoD concerning biosensing and the interface
between biology and the physical sciences, especially in the
areas of nanotechnology.
