Futurology

Foresight Molecular Machines Group 2021 program & apply to join: Anne-Sophie Duwez, University of Liege Probing Synthetic Molecular Machines with AFM Anne-Sophie Duwez obtained her PhD in chemistry in 1997 at the University of Namur, Belgium. She then joined the University of Louvain as a FNRS postdoctoral researcher. From 2002 to 2003, she was a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute in Mainz, Germany. She then returned to the University of Louvain as a senior scientist to develop single-molecule force spectroscopy by AFM. In 2006, she was appointed associate professor at the University of Liege and obtained an Incentive Grant for Scientific Research from the National Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS) to create a new laboratory for advanced AFM techniques. She is currently a full professor in the Department of Chemistry. Her research focuses on the development of probes and technologies to interface single small functional molecules with AFM. A landmark
