معرفی
Professor Cynthia Goh is a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto, with a cross-appointment to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on phenomena at the nanometer scale (tens to thousands of angstroms), emphasizing transitions from molecular to macroscopic systems. She investigates interfaces and structures using advanced techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nonlinear optical methods (second harmonic generation and sum frequency generation).
Her current projects include studying collagen fiber assembly, paired helical filaments (PHF) in Alzheimer’s disease, and interfacial dynamics in liquid/air, liquid/liquid, and liquid/solid systems. Key areas of exploration involve water behavior near charged interfaces and cooperative adsorption at model membranes. Her work integrates interdisciplinary approaches from physics, chemistry, and biology.
Professor Goh’s lab employs cutting-edge techniques to bridge molecular and macroscopic scales, addressing fundamental questions in materials, biophysics, and surface science.
