Biography
Dr. Eric LESNIEWSKA received his M.S. degree in Physics in 1986; and his PhD degree in Physics in 1991. After working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop STM and UHV-STM for biological applications as a postdoctoral fellow from 1991 to 1992, he returned to France in 1993 to become Assistant Professor in the Biophysics Laboratory of the INSERM Department of Dijon Hospital University Center. In 1996, he joined the Physics Laboratory (CNRS UMR 2509) of university of Dijon. In 2006, he became Professor and develop his research in the Nanosciences department of the Institute Carnot of Bourgogne (ICB UMR 6303). Prof. Lesniewska’s research is focused on the development of new nanoprobes for pH, thermal and conductimetry measurements (AFM), development of new atomic force microscopy modes such as Scanning NearField Ultrasound Holography (SNFUH), Scanning Microwave Tomography, and applications to biosensors using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectrocopy (SERS). By his researches on living cells, biomimetic membranes, DNA-protein assemblies, and its application to the studies of biosensor devices, he is integrated in 2006 in the Research Training Networks FP6 (RTN) « Nanocem ». Since 2008, he is involved in the development of high-speed AFM imaging in collaboration with Biophysics Lab of the University of Kanazawa (Pr. T. Ando). A commercial version of HS-AFM has been developed by RIBM Co. in 2012. Since 2010, he is involved in the development of 3D tomography using micro-wave (SMM) or ultrasonic wave (UA-AFM) at various frequency. Since 2012, he is involved in the development of spectroscopic modes on AFM or HS-AFM platform such as IR spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. He is involved in the NanoSense Lab (ICB-ARDPI) in the development of SMM tip scanners.
