About this title

About the Authors

Thorsten Wohland is a professor in the departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt research fellowship and the Outstanding Scientist Award of the faculty of science at NUS. His interests lie in the development of fluorescence techniques and their application to biological systems. He continues to develop new FCS modalities and is passionate about teaching FCS, which motivated the writing of this book.

Sudipta Maiti is a professor of chemical sciences at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (Mumbai, India). His research focuses on protein aggregation, neurotransmission and development of microscopy techniques. He organizes the long-running annual FCS Workshop in India. He is the co-founder and president of the Fluorescence Society (India) and president of the International Society on Optics Within Life Sciences (OWLS, Germany). He is also a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences.

Radek Macháň has worked as imaging scientist in microscopy core facilities since 2016, first at Charles University in Prague and then at the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering located at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Throughout his work at the microscopy core facilities, Radek has continued to promote FCS and related techniques by assisting facility users with FCS experiments and by teaching FCS at courses and practical workshops.
