The Krishnan Lab works in the broad area of soft condensed matter at the nanometer scale and has a long- standing interest in measuring and understanding the properties and interactions of molecular-scale matter, e.g., biological macromolecules. Recently the group pioneered “molecular stereometry” –- a new experimental approach to measuring a molecule’s size and shape in the solution phase (Science 2025). Our microchip-based escape-time technology platform now enables measurements of the physical properties of macromolecules such as their electrical charge, size and 3D conformation with unprecedented precision, one at a time and in real time (Nature, 2010; Nature Nanotechnology, 2012, 2017; Science 2025). The project involves a combination of optical imaging, nanofabrication, data analysis, and biochemical familiarity and experience. Application Process
