Paul Wiseman obtained his B.Sc. (Honours) from St. Francis Xavier University in 1989 and Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Western Ontario in 1995. He was Japan Society for the Promotion of Science postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Tokyo and Nagoya University and then a LJIS interdisciplinary postdoctoral research fellow at UCSD. In 2001, Paul became an assistant professor jointly appointed in the Departments of Chemistry and Physics at 91社区, was promoted to associate professor and later to full professor and holds the Otto Maass Research Chair in Chemistry.
His biophysics research involves combining nonlinear optical microscopy, correlation spectroscopy and nanoscience for studying transport dynamics of macromolecules and their interactions in living cells and neurons as well as tissue structure and dynamics along with recent work on detection of malaria parasites in blood via nonlinear optical methods. His group develops fluorescence fluctuation and wavelet methods for quantitative analysis of microscopy and super-resolution images.
