Physics in Biology and Medicine

Paul Davidovits, Professor of Chemistry at Boston College, was co-awarded the prestigious year 2000 R.W. Wood prize from the Optical Society of America for his seminal work in optics. His contribution was foundational in the field of confocal microscopy (discussed herein), which allows engineers and biologists to produce optical sections through 3-D objects such as semiconductor circuits, living tissues, or a single cell. Dr. Davidovits earned his doctorate, masters, and undergraduate degrees from Columbia University. Prior to his appointment at Boston College, he was a faculty member at Yale University. He has published more than 100 papers in physical chemistryDavidovits, Paul is the author of 'Physics in Biology and Medicine', published 2000 under ISBN 9780122048401 and ISBN 0122048407.
