People
As in all things, research and progress don't happen without the hands, backs, and brains of bright people. We've had a lot move through the lab over the years, here is who is working now:
Professor Paul Hansma received
his B.A. from New College, Sarasota, FL, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from
the University of California, Berkeley. He came to the UCSB Physics
Department in 1972 as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate
Professor in 1976, and attained full professorship in 1980. He won the
distinguished Biological Physics Prize in 2000 from the American
Physical Society. More information is available from the UCSB Physics
website (www.physics.ucsb.edu).
