Dr. John Wikswo is a biological physicist from Vanderbilt University. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 1975, prior to working as a postdoctoral Research Fellow in Cardiology at Stanford. Shortly after, he joined the faculty at Vanderbilt University in the Department of Physics. Early in his career, he and his colleagues made the first measurements of the magnetic field of a single axon fiber. Dr. Wikswo has contributed extensively to biophysics, cardiac electrophysiology, magnetometer engineering, systems biology, and more. In this interview, he chronologically outlines many of the highlights from his ongoing scientific career.
