Albert van den Berg (physicist)

Albert van den Berg (born 20 September 1957) is a Dutch physicist who works on nanotechnology-miniaturization in physics, chemistry, biology and biotechnology (nanofluidics, nanosensors, Lab on a chip (LOC), Organ on Chip (OoC)).

In 1988 he earned his PhD at the University of Twente with a thesis on chemically modified ISFETs.

In 2002 he won the Simon Stevin Master Award of the Dutch Society of Science and Engineering.

As there was no fourth Spinoza Prize awarded in 2009, Van den Berg and his co-winners Michel Ferrari and Marten Scheffer asked the NWO to reward them the remaining prize money, which they would spend on a collaborative research effort.
