Funding Information: electrical engineering from the Univer- sity of Memphis in 1999. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University in Houston, Texas. She has received a stu-dent research grant from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. Her research interests include dynamic force spectroscopy and staphylococcal adhesins. Funding Information: Bahman Anvari received the B.A. degree in biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1985; the M.S. degree in biomedical engineering from California State Univer- sity, Sacramento, in 1988; and the Ph.D. degree in bioengineering from Texas A&M University in 1993. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Beckman laser Institute and Medical Clinic, University of Califor-nia, Irvine, and later a research assistant professor of Engineering at Harvey Mudd College. He joined the Bioengineering De-partment at Rice University in 1998 as an assistant professor, and became an associate professor in 2003. His scientific interests include diagnostic and therapeutic applications of lasers, development of cooling techniques in conjunction with laser irradiation to induce spatially selective thermal injury, and utilization of optical tweezers to study membrane mechanics and molecular adhesion. Dr. Anvari{\textquoteright}s research has been supported by The Whitaker Foundation, NSF, NIH, and industrial sources. He has authored over 130 scientific articles and holds several patents related to photothermal therapy of specific skin diseases.
