A researcher in <optical tweezers> and lead author of a 2020 tutorial on their calibration and applications. The tutorial explains how to turn trapped-particle fluctuations into quantitative measurements of forces, and compares trapping in liquids with trapping in vacuum, where much weaker damping changes the dynamics. Applications range from mechanical measurements on individual molecules to tests of <statistical physics>.<Optical Tweezers: A Comprehensive Tutorial from Calibration to Applications by Jan Gieseler>[Abstract and §§2–3: calibration; later sections: liquid and vacuum applications]{ref}
