Amr Ahmed Essawi Saleh
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Materials Science and Engineering
BioDr. Amr Saleh is a postdoctoral scholar in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Stanford University and research director of the Microbial Culture Shift Project - a multidisciplinary project that aims to develop a new platform for rapid point-of-care bacterial infection diagnostics. Dr. Saleh obtained his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University where he designed plasmonic tweezers capable of trapping sub-10nm dielectric particles and developed a novel characterization technique to directly probe the near-field optical forces from those tweezers using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Prior to Stanford, he earned his bachelor’s degree in electronics engineering and master’s degree in engineering physics from Cairo University, Egypt. Dr. Saleh’s research interests center on light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, particularly to develop novel solutions for biological imaging and healthcare applications. He holds several approved and pending patents on plasmonic optical tweezers, bacterial diagnostics, and combined Raman and electron microscopy. He also holds a certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Stanford Graduate School of Business. His innovation in healthcare applications was recognized through the US Falling Walls labs innovation award.
