Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAurelia Honerkamp-smith is an interdisciplinary experimental biophysicist and Associate Professor of Physics with 12 years of academic experience studying lipid membrane physical chemistry, microscopy, microfluidics, and image analysis. She combines deep hands-on expertise in custom optical instrument design—having built a light sheet fluorescence microscope—with quantitative molecular biology and microfluidic techniques to probe membrane flow and topological transitions. Her career spans rigorous PhD work in physical chemistry and postdoctoral innovation at Cambridge, followed by faculty leadership at Lehigh University. Known for bridging physics and biology, she applies quantitative optics and microfluidics to living systems, translating complex experimental setups into reproducible measurement platforms. Based in the Greater Cambridge area, she brings a practiced skill for instrument engineering, data-driven image analysis, and multidisciplinary collaboration. An often overlooked strength is her track record of integrating physical-chemistry rigor (e.g., quantitative NMR of sterol incorporation) into live-cell and developmental imaging studies.
