Alexandra Ros is a professor in the School of Molecular Sciences and faculty member of the Center for Applied Structural Discovery (CASD) at the Biodesign Institute. She received her Diploma in Chemistry from the Ruprecht-Karls University in Heidelberg, Germany, and her Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland. Professor Ros has been interested in microfluidic platforms and their analytical applications, since completing her doctorate. She joined the Biophysics and Nanoscience Group at Bielefeld University, Germany, in 2000 where she followed her interests in microfluidics and biophysics during her post doctoral training. Since 2001, she served as principle investigator at Bielefeld University, Germany, on several projects investigating migration mechanisms and single cell analysis in the microfluidic format. In 2007, she finished her Habilitation and received the Venia Legendi in Experimental Physics from Bielefeld University.
Professor Ros joined Arizona State University in 2008 as an assistant professor where she was promoted to associate professor in 2014. In the same year she was appointed faculty member of the Center for Applied Structural Discovery (CASD) at the Biodesign Institute. In 2015-16, she was a visiting scientist at the Georg-August University Goettingen, Germany. She is recipient of an NSF Career Award, a Fellowship for Experienced Researchers from the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation, Germany, the FACSS Innovation Award and the AES Midcareer Award. Dr. Ros was promoted to Professor in 2020. Her current research interests include migration mechanisms in the micro- and nanoenvironment for biomolecules and sub-cellular species with a focus on electrokinetic methods, hyphenation of analytical approaches for single cell analysis, and developing microfluidic tools for emerging crystallography techniques.
