معرفی
Janet Sheung is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Scripps College, specializing in biophysical systems and cytoskeletal dynamics. She teaches courses such as Principles of Physics, Electronics Laboratory, and Senior Thesis in Physics/Biophysics. Her research focuses on the interplay between molecular motors, cytoskeletal networks, and active matter, with a particular emphasis on mechanical properties, transport phenomena, and microscopy innovations.
Dr. Sheung's work explores how motor proteins like kinesin and myosin drive structural and mechanical changes in cytoskeletal composites, influencing DNA transport, phase separation, and stress propagation. She has pioneered customizable light-sheet microscopy techniques for visualizing these systems in vivo. Her studies integrate experimental and theoretical approaches to understand non-equilibrium dynamics in biological materials.
Her articles highlight themes of motor competition, topological effects on DNA transport, and the design of advanced imaging tools. While no awards are explicitly listed, her contributions to biophysics and microscopy instrumentation are evident in her publication record. Advising and grant details are not provided in the available text, but her teaching and research roles suggest active involvement in student mentorship.
