On this episode of Radio Physics, summer intern Alice Lebedev-Migdal interviews physicist Ned Wingreen.Ned Wingreen is the Howard A. Prior Professor of the Life Sciences at Princeton University. He is a member of the Department of Molecular Biology and Associate Director of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, where he is Director of Graduate Studies of the QCB Graduate Program. He is also Associate Director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, and associated faculty in the Department of Physics. Ned received his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from Cornell University in 1989. He did his postdoc in mesoscopic physics at MIT before moving, in 1991, 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. Ned joined Princeton University in 2004. Ned's current research focuses on modeling of bacteria, bacterial communities, phages, and other microorganisms, as well as studies of intracellular phase separation, and topics in immunology. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Listen to Radio Physics on KDNK.org every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
