Ahmet Yıldız

Ahmet Yıldız (born 1982) is a postdoc in the field of single-molecule Biophysics. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of how motor proteins walk along their filaments.

In 2003 Yildiz received the Foresight Distinguished Student Award for his study of the motion of the molecular motor myosin V. According to the Foresight Institute: "The Distinguished Student Award recognizes the college graduate or undergraduate student whose work is deemed most notable in advancing the development and understanding of molecular nanotechnology." The award was presented during the Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology, October 10-12, 2003, in San Francisco. The Foresight Institute Distinguished Student Award was created in 1997, and is awarded annually.

Yildiz was awarded the 2005 GE & "Science" Prize for Young Life Scientists.
