Prof. Hywel Morgan

Hywel Morgan was appointed Professor of Bioelectronics in 2003. His research interests are concerned with understanding and exploiting the applications of electric fields to biology, particularly in the context of micro and nano-systems. He has developed new bio-particle manipulation and characterisation methods and is interested in developing methods for controlling fluids in micro-systems through the exploitation of electrohydrodynamic effects. He also has interests in artificial membrane systems and in single molecule manipulation and imaging. In 2001 he was awarded a Royal Society-Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship for a sabbatical at the Clarenon Laboratory, Univesity of Oxford. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Electrostatics, IEE Proc. Nanobiotechnology and recently co-authored a text-book on AC electrokinetics. In 2004 he was awarded the Desty memorial prize for innovation in separation science.
