Optical Tweezers: Advanced Applications in Biology and Materials Science
Experience optical tweezers with cutting-edge capabilities and unparalleled versatility
During this webinar, Dr. Raúl Rica Alarcón will discuss his work focusing on the development of novel methods to control and manipulate matter at the nanoscale. Learn how Bruker’s pioneering NanoTracker 2 optical tweezers platform enables novel applications and seamless integration with advanced optical microscopy techniques. This webinar will also include a demonstration LIVE from our labs in Berlin, showcasing the capabilities of NanoTracker 2.
Presenter’s Abstract
Dr. Raúl Rica Alarcón obtained his PhD in 2011 at the University of Granada (UGR), working on colloid science. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) on renewable energy, at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) on optical tweezers, photonics, and stochastic thermodynamics, and at UGR on ion trapping and atomic physics. Since 2017, he has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at UGR, where he leads the Nanoparticles Trapping Laboratory (NanoTLab) to advance micromanipulation capabilities for exploring complex situations in microscopic systems driven out of equilibrium.
