Hansma, Paul K., 1946-
Oral history interview with Paul K. Hansma, 2006 May 2 and August 7.
Paul K. Hansma discusses his time at the University of California at Berkeley studying condensed matter physics under Gene Rochlin; completing his thesis on externally shunted Josephson junctions; accepting a faculty position at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and working on electron tunneling junctions; attending a meeting on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and moving his research away from ultra-high vacuum equipment into STMs that would function in air and liquids; reviewing a paper on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and shifting his research again, this time from STM to AFM. Hansma concludes the interview by offering insights on the impact of the UCSB Materials Research Laboratory; thoughts on the nanotechnology community; and his current research on bone diagnostic instruments in medical physics.
Ph.D., Physics, University of California, Berkeley (1972). University of California, Santa Barbara, professor of physics (1972-present), co-chair of physics department of nanotechnology; Arizona State University, advisory board, Interactive Nano-visualization in Science and Engineering Education (INVSEE) program; Review of Scientific Instruments, Editorial Board member.
