Matthew J Comstock

Dr. Comstock earned his undergraduate degree in physics from The University of Chicago and received a physics Ph.D. in condensed matter from the University of California, Berkeley, with research focused on optically controlled molecular machines. At the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Matt jumped into biological physics during a postdoctoral fellowship, where he constructed a novel microscope capable of observing in real-time both the structure and the function of individual biological molecular motors at the angstrom scale. In August 2012, Matt joined the faculty at MSU. As an assistant professor and the Jerry Cowen Chair of Physics, he will continue to advance the frontiers of single molecule biology experimental techniques.
