Paul McEuen
Paul McEuen (born 1963 in Oklahoma) is an American physicist. He received his B.S. in engineering physics at the University of Oklahoma (1985), and his Ph.D. in applied physics at Yale University (1991). After postdoctoral work at MIT (1990-1991), he became a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He moved to Cornell University in 2001, where he is currently the Goldwin Smith Professor of Physics.[1] He is one of the world experts on carbon nanotubes[2] and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[3]

[edit] Research focus
Paul McEuen studies the electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, scanning probe microscopy of nanostructures, molecular electronics, and applications of nanoelectronics in chemistry and biology.[4] His group publishes their work frequently in Nature and Science,[5] and Paul has a Hirsch number of 53.[6]
[edit] Novel
McEuen wrote a scientific thriller, Spiral (release date: March 22, 2011), in which an emeritus Cornell biology professor is murdered as part of a plot involving a biological weapon.[7] The German translation became available on October 29, 2010.[8] McEuen sold the movie rights for "Spiral" to Chockstone Pictures.[9]
