SUMMARY:ICFO | ADAM E. COHEN
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 8th\, 12:00\, ICFO's AuditoriumADAM E. COHENProfes
 sor in the departments of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Physics at Ha
 rvard\, with additional appointments in the Center for Brain Science and t
 he Harvard Stem Cell Institute.  He is also an investigator with the Howar
 d Hughes Medical Institute $$ His research focuses on understanding and co
 ntrolling light-matter interactions in warm\, wet\, squishy environments. 
  Projects in the Cohen Lab range from new approaches to imaging brain func
 tion\, to understanding fundamental quantum mechanics of light-matter inte
 ractions\, to studies on the biophysics of mucus.  \n\nCohen obtained PhD 
 degrees from Stanford in experimental biophysics (2007) and Cambridge\, UK
  in theoretical physics (2003).  He was an undergraduate at Harvard where 
 he graduated summa cum laude in 2001.  He attended Hunter College High Sch
 ool in New York City.\n\nIn 2007 Technology Review Magazine named Cohen on
 e of the top 35 US technological innovators under the age of 35 and in 201
 2 Popular Science named him one of their “Brilliant Ten” top young sci
 entists.  In 2014 Cohen received the Blavatnik National Award in Chemistry
  and the American Chemical Society Pure Chemistry Award.  He has published
  over fifty peer-reviewed publications and has five patents issued or pend
 ing.\n\nIn addition to his academic work\, Cohen has founded a biotech com
 pany\, Q-State Biosciences\, focused on combining optical imaging with ste
 m cell technology to develop new diagnostics and therapies for neuropsychi
 atric and neurodegenerative diseases.  He has also traveled to Liberia whe
 re he worked on strengthening science education at the University of Liber
 ia.\n
