Tony Frederick Heinz (born 30 April 1956 in Palo Alto) is an American physicist.
[1] 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.
[3] 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).
