My name is Peter Eaton, and I have been working with Atomic Force Microscopy for more than 20 years. I am currently an Instrument Scientist at The Bridge, in the University of Lincoln, UK. I am the co-author (with Paul West of AFMWorkshop) of the book Atomic Force Microscopy, published in 2010 by Oxford University Press. I have collaborated with researchers in the UK, France, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, the USA and Germany in AFM. I have taught AFM around the globe, and am the coordinator of the well-known Porto AFM Training Workshop (running from 2011 onwards).

In addition to development of research and education in Atomic Force Microscopy, my interests include:

Antimicrobial peptides derived from amphibians

  • Nano particle preparation and characterisation
  • Natural Products
  • Biosensors
  • Antiviral and anticancer peptides
  • Scanning electron microscopy
  • Transmission electron microscopy

A complete list of my research papers can be found along with my academic CV here. I have co-authored more than 90 scientific works.

I am happy to collaborate scientifically in interesting projects or carry out scientific consultancy in the field of atomic force microscopy.
