Biography
Massimo Antognozzi is Associate Professor in Department of Physics University of Bristol, United Kingdom
Research Interest
His main research interest is to develop tools to investigate nanoscale systems. In particular, He have developed a dedicated scanning probe microscope to measure sub-picoNewton forces parallel to a flat surface. The name of this technique is the lateral molecular force microscope (LMFM). The sensors used in a LMFM can have stiffness a thousand times smaller than the ones used in conventional atomic force microscopy.
