Madhavi Krishnan is Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Oxford. Krishnan invented the electrostatic fluidic trap which permits the spatial control and manipulation of matter at the molecular scale. These traps enable highly precise measurements of the size, charge and shape of molecules in the solution phase. They also support the sensitive detection of biomarkers of disease, allowing for early diagnosis.
