Jens H. Gundlach is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Washington, where he has been a faculty member since 1993, progressing from assistant professor (1993-1998) to associate professor (1998-2004) and full professor (2004-present). He is a member of the University of Washington's Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) since its founding in 2000 and also participates in major collaborations including LIGO and LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). Gundlach's research spans two major fields: experimental gravitational physics and biophysics. In gravitational physics, he is renowned for developing precision torsion balance techniques to measure the gravitational constant and test fundamental principles of gravity. His 2000 measurement of G became the basis for the CODATA value since 2006. His work with the Eöt-Wash Group has tested the equivalence principle and searched for deviations from Newtonian gravity that might indicate new physics. Since approximately 2002, he has pioneered research in biophysics, particularly developing nanopore sequencing technology using the MspA protein. His group demonstrated DNA sequencing capabilities with this technology in 2008 and 2012, enabling single-nucleotide resolution analysis. His recent publications show continued activity in both fields, with gravitational physics work focusing on dark matter detection and equivalence principle tests, while his biophysics research advances nanopore technology for DNA sequencing, protein analysis, and single-molecule enzyme studies. His nanopore work has evolved into a sophisticated platform called SPRNT (Single-molecule Picometer Resolution Nanopore Tweezers) that can track molecular movements at unprecedented resolution. Scientific Awards Francis M. Pipkin Award of the American Physical Society (2001) Elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (2009) for "contributions to precision mechanical measurements and our quantitative understanding of the strength of gravity" Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2021) jointly with Eric Adelberger and Blayne Heckel for "precision fundamental measurements that test our understanding of gravity, probe the nature of dark energy, and establish limits on couplings to dark matter" Gundlach leads an active research group that bridges physics and biology, securing grants from both physical science and biomedical funding agencies. His laboratory work combines precision mechanical measurements with single-molecule biophysics, creating innovative tools that have applications across multiple scientific disciplines. The group maintains strong connections with both the physics and bioengineering communities at the University of Washington. The Gundlach laboratory operates state-of-the-art facilities for both gravitational physics experiments (including torsion balances operating in high vacuum) and biophysics research (advanced nanopore instrumentation). His team collaborates extensively with other research groups at the University of Washington and internationally, particularly in the LIGO and LISA collaborations for gravitational physics work, and with biotechnology companies for nanopore sequencing applications.
