Martin Guthold

Martin Guthold is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Wake Forest University, where he also serves as Director of Graduate Studies. His research focuses on Biophysics, Molecular Biology, and Nanotechnology, with a particular emphasis on the mechanical properties of fibrin fibers and their role in blood clotting and tissue engineering. Guthold combines advanced microscopy techniques (e.g., SEM, AFM) with material science to investigate fibrin fiber structure, nanofiber mechanics, and biomedical applications.

He teaches undergraduate and graduate physics courses, including Physics 113, 381, and 791. Contact information includes his email gutholdm@wfu.edu and phone 336-758-4977. His work bridges disciplines like nanotechnology and biophysics, addressing topics from space-related joint preservation to cardiovascular disease mechanisms. While no specific awards are listed, his prolific publication record (over 50 articles from 2011–2025) highlights sustained contributions to thrombosis research, material science, and biophysical modeling.
