Heiner Linke, Assistant Professor of Physics, grew up in Germany, received a masters degree from the Technical University in Munich and a Ph.D. from Lund University in Sweden in 1997. After three years as a Research Fellow in Sydney, Australia he joined the UO Faculty in 2001. His research is in the areas of non-equilibrium transport effects in micro- and nanoscale systems, including electrons in mesoscopic semiconductors and the physics of molecular motors. Professor Linke’s research has been funded by the Australian Research Council and by the National Science Foundation through a CAREER Award. Publications include "Ratchets and Brownian motors: basics, experiments and applications" (Ed.), Applied Physics A 75 167 ­ 352 (2002) and "Experimental Tunneling Ratchets", Science 286, 2314 (1999) (with T.E. Humphrey, A. Sushkov, A. Löfgren, R.P. Taylor, and P. Omling).
