title: Nanostructures for sensors and analytical systems.
abstract: Professor Harold Craighead attended the University of Maryland (MD, USA) where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics. He moved to Cornell University (NY, USA) for his PhD in Physics, which he completed in 1980. He subsequently worked as a member of technical staff in the Device Physics Research Department at Bell Laboratories (NJ, USA) until 1984 when he joined Bellcore to form and manage the Quantum Structures research group. Professor Craighead returned to Cornell University as a Professor in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics. He became the Director of the National Nanofabrication Facility at Cornell and remained in this post until 1995. Professor Craighead was also the Director of the School of Applied and Engineering Physics and the founding Director of the Nanobiotechnology Center. In 2001, he was appointed the Interim Dean of the College of Engineering. He was awarded the Charles W Lake Jr Professorship of Engineering at Cornell University. Professor Craighead was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and has authored over 340 papers and book chapters, as well as 51 issued patents.
