报告摘要：The basic principle of optical trapping and manipulation, including counter-propagating dual-beam trap, single-beam optical tweezers, photonics force microscopy (PFM), optical trap-and-stretch, and optical forced oscillation will be reviewed. Potential biomedical applications of these techniques for the measurements of protein-protein interactions, protein-DNA interactions, and the cellular viscoelastic properties will be highlighted.

Arthur Chiou received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from California Institute of Technology.  He had been an Engineer at the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), NASA, a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at IBM San Jose Research Lab, a Principal Investigator, a Senior Scientist and a Program Manager at Rockwell Science Center in the US, a Professor of the Electrical Engineering Department and the Dean of the College of Science and Engineering at the National Dong Hwa University in Hualien, Taiwan.  He is currently a Professor of the Institute of Biophotonics, the Dean of the School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, and the Director of The Biophotonics Interdisciplinary Research Center at the National Yang-Ming University in Taipei, Taiwan.

Dr. Chiou’s recent research interest has been in the field of optical manipulation & sensing, and spectroscopic laser microscopy for biomedical applications. He has more than 200 publications and presentations and holds two US patents (with 2 other pending) and one Taiwan patent (with 2 other pending).  He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), a Fellow of the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE), a Fellow of the Photonics Society of Chinese-Americans (PSC), and a Senior Member of the IEEE.  He was the President (1993) and the Chairman of the Board (1994) of PSC.  Dr. Chiou was a member of the Board of Director (BoD) of SPIE (2000, 2002 to 2004), a member of the BoD of the Physical Society of the R.O.C. (2001 through 2003), the President of the OSA, Taiwan Chapter (2002 to 2003), a member of the BoD of the Optical Engineering Society of the R.O.C. (2002 to date), and a recipient of the SPIE 1989 Rudolph Kingslake Award and Medal.
