Tony Heinz

Heinz studied at Stanford University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1978. He received his doctorate in 1982 at the University of California, Berkeley, in physics.

Watson Research Center of IBM. He was a professor at Columbia University and is now a professor at Stanford University. He served as president of The Optical Society in 2021.{{Cite web|title=Biographies: Tony F. Heinz|url=https://www.osa.org/en-us/history/biographies/bios/tony-f-heinz/|website=The Optical Society}}

His research focuses on ultrafast laser spectroscopy (femtosecond pulses) and thus investigates dynamics at surfaces. His group investigates electronic and optical properties of a few atoms of thin two-dimensional systems (such as graphene or ultrathin crystals of transition-metal di-chalcogen compounds). His significant contributions to the condensed matter and materials physics includes discovery of room temperature excitons in 1D and 2D materials.{{Cite journal |last=Wang |first=Gang |last2=Chernikov |first2=Alexey |last3=Glazov |first3=Mikhail M. |last4=Heinz |first4=Tony F. |last5=Marie |first5=Xavier |last6=Amand |first6=Thierry |last7=Urbaszek |first7=Bernhard |date=2018-04-04 |title=Colloquium : Excitons in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides |url=https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/RevModPhys.90.021001 |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |language=en |volume=90 |issue=2 |doi=10.1103/RevModPhys.90.021001 |issn=0034-6861|arxiv=1707.05863 }}

Heinz is one of the most cited scientists. Since 2019, the media group Clarivate counts him among the favorites for a Nobel Prize (Clarivate Citation Laureates).{{cite web |title=The 2019 Clarivate Citation Laureates |quote=We recognize Heinz for contributions to understanding classes of nanoscale materials including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and two-dimensional semiconductors such as molybdenum disulfide. |publisher=Clarivate Analytics |url=https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/dlm_uploads/2019/09/Citation_Laureates_2019.pdf}}
