Dr. Dietz studied physics at the University of Paderborn, Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), and the University of Munich. Dietz received a physics diploma in 2004 from the latter place. In 2007 he was awarded a doctoral degree from the Physics Department of the Technische Universität München for his work on the mechanical and structural analysis of protein molecules using single-molecule experiments. For postdoctoral research, Hendrik Dietz then turned from proteins to DNA and joined a team of self-assembly enthusiasts, led by William Shih and located at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
His publications are as follows :
