Dr. Chia-Lung Hsieh is currently a principal investigator at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sinica, in Taiwan. His research interest is exploring nanoscale biological dynamics with advanced microscope techniques. Specifically, his ongoing research employs an advanced scattering-based interferometric microscope technique to enable direct visualization of the swift movements of cell organelles, virus particles, and chromatin within living cells. Together with fluorescence microscopy and biochemical methods, his team aims to uncover nanoscale biophysics with unparalleled detail.
Dr. Hsieh has received several prestigious awards in recognition of his scientific achievements and research potential, including the 20th Y. Z. Hsu Scientific Paper Award (2022), the MOST Ta-You Wu Memorial Award (2021), the Young Scholars' Creativity Award from the Foundation for the Advancement of Outstanding Scholarship (2020), as well as the Junior Research Investigator Award (2019) and the Career Development Award (2017) from Academia Sinica.
Dr. Hsieh earned his Ph.D. in 2011 from Caltech, where he studied nonlinear optics in nano-sized particles for bioimaging under Prof. Demetri Psaltis. He conducted much of his research as an exchange Ph.D. student in the Optics Lab at EPFL in Switzerland. Afterward, he did postdoctoral work on interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy and single-particle tracking with Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany. In December 2012, he joined IAMS as a PI and founded the Bio-Nano-Photonics Lab.
