Prof. Terrence Hwa

Presidential Chair and Distinguished Professor of Physics and Biology

University of California San Diego (UCSD), USA

主讲人/Speaker:

Terry Hwa is the Presidential Chair and Distinguished Professor of Physics and Biology at UC San Diego, and the founding director of its Quantitative Biology Graduate Program. Hwa completed his B.S. degree in physics, electrical engineering, and biology from Stanford University, and Ph.D. in statistical physics at MIT. Afterwards, he worked as a post-doc at Harvard University, and briefly at the Institute for Advanced Study. He has been at UC San Diego since 1995. Hwa is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, and the recipient of the Max Delbruck Prize of the American Physical Society. Hwa develops theoretical and experimental approaches to gain quantitative, predictive understanding of living systems, focusing on bacterial physiology. The Hwa lab is continuing to extend their physiological approach to characterize bacterial species singly and in consortium, to uncover underlying principles governing the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial communities, and to apply these principles to expand synthetic biology applications.
