Biography

Aleksandar (Alex) Ivanov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London. His research focuses on the innovation of novel nanoscale sensor platforms for single-molecule detection and delivery, enabling the study of fundamentally important molecules in chemistry, biology, and medicine. His work includes the development of tunneling nanopore platforms for high-resolution DNA fragment sizing and sequencing published in Nano Letters (2011), ACS Nano (2014), and Nature Communications (2021), as well as optical and plasmonic nanopore platforms for single-molecule detection. Alex has contributed significantly to the understanding of bioanalyte sensing through nanopore/field-effect transistors and has explored the confinement of single molecules at the zeptoliter scale. His labs research extends to multiplexed single-molecule protein detection in human serum and the use of nanotweezers to extract single DNA, proteins, and organelles from living cells. He has published extensively in top-tier journals and maintains an active Google Scholar profile.
