Arizona State’s Alexandra Ros Earns Award for Her Research in Electrophoresis and Microfluidics

Alexandra Ros of Arizona State University received the Mid-Career Achievement Award from the Advancing Electrokinetic Science Electrophoresis Society. The award recognizes exceptional contributions to the field of electrophoresis and microfluidics.

Dr. Ros is a professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State. She is also a faculty member in the Biodesign Institute’s Center for Applied Structural Discovery at the university. Her current research interests include migration mechanisms in the micro- and nano-environment for biomolecules and subcellular species with a focus on electrokinetic methods, hyphenation of analytical approaches for single-cell analysis, and development of microfluidic tools for emerging crystallography techniques.

In 2000, Dr. Ros joined the Biophysics and Nanoscience Group at Bielefeld University in Germany. She came to  Arizona State University in 2008 as an assistant professor. She was promoted to associate professor in 2014 and to full professor this year.

Professor Ros received her diploma in chemistry from the Ruprecht-Karls University in Heidelberg, Germany. She earned ar Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
