Biography

Dr. Anna Swan is an Associate Professor at Boston University specializing in high spatial resolution spectroscopy. Her research primarily focuses on improving fluorescence microscopy resolution and conducting resonant Raman studies of single carbon nanotubes. Additionally, she explores sensitive high spatial resolution stress measurements in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) using micro-Raman spectroscopy. Dr. Swan's work also includes analyzing the optical properties of low-dimensional systems such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, as well as advancing biological imaging detection techniques, notably through 4Pi microscopy and spectral fluorescence microscopy. She has contributed significantly to her field with multiple publications in renowned journals, discussing topics from temperature-dependent asymmetry in photoluminescence spectra of monolayer MoS2 to the behavior of graphene under various strains. Dr. Swan's academic background includes a Ph.D. in Physics from Boston University and a Master's degree in Physics Engineering from Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden.
