Biographies
Diego Krapf:
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Diego Krapf received the bachelor’s degree in physics and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. From 2004 to 2007, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Molecular Biophysics Group, Delft University of Technology, where he focused on single-molecule biophysics using solid-state nanopores. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Colorado State University as a Faculty Member in 2007. He was promoted to Full Professor at Colorado State University in 2020. He is also Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering and the School of Material Science and Engineering. Dr. Krapf received multiple awards both in the US and abroad. He is an editorial board member of Scientific Reports and has served as editor for IEEE Access and guest editor of JPhys Photonics. His current research interests include stochastic processes and cellular biophysics. He particularly focuses on protein dynamics, mammalian sperm capacitation, and cellular architecture employing single-molecule tracking and super-resolution imaging tools.
Julia Gehrlein:
Physics
Julia Gehrlein studied physics at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology. She then received a fellowship with the EU funded Innovate Training Network “elusives” to pursue her doctoral studies at the Instituto de Fisica Teorica at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain. In 2019 she joined the High Energy Theory group at Brookhaven National Laboratory in NY as a research associate and in 2022 the Theory Department at CERN as a senior research associate. Since 2023 she is an assistant professor in the Physics Department at CSU. Her research is centered around neutrino physics where she identifies the most promising ways to discover new physics beyond the Standard Model.
