The Coblentz Society presented the 2017 Coblentz Award to Dr. Wei Min.
Dr. Wei Min
graduated from Peking University with a Bachelor's degree of Chemistry
in 2003. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2008 studying
single-molecule biophysics with Prof. Sunney Xie. After continuing his
postdoctoral work in Xie group, Dr. Min joined the faculty of Department
of Chemistry at Columbia University in 2010, and is promoted to Full
Professor there in 2017. He is also currently affiliated with the Kavli
Institute for Brain Science and NeuroTechnology Center at Columbia
University.
Dr.
Min's current research interests focus on developing novel optical
spectroscopy and microscopy technology to address biomedical problems.
In particular, his group has made important contributions to the
development of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy and its
broad application in biomedical imaging including bioorthogonal chemical
imaging of small molecules and super-multiplex vibrational imaging.
Dr. Min's
contribution has been recognized by a number of honors, including
Coblentz Award of Molecular Spectroscopy (2017), the ACS Early Career
Award in Experimental Physical Chemistry (2017), Buck-Whitney Award of
American Chemical Society (2015), Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award
(2015), George Fraenkel Fund Award (2014), Alfred P. Sloan Research
Fellowship (2013), NIH Director's New Innovator Award (2012) and Faculty
Finalist of Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists of the New York
Academy of Sciences (2012).
