Rate My Professor Andrew Ewing

Ewing's research focuses on analytical chemistry at the micro- and nanoscale, employing electrochemistry, optical imaging with STED microscopy, and mass spectrometry techniques such as SIMS and NanoSIMS. These methods enable studies of chemical processes in single nerve cells, individual vesicles, neural communication within cell networks and the Drosophila nervous system, communication between organelles, and molecular messengers involved in cell differentiation. His pioneering contributions to understanding exocytosis and the contents of nanometer-sized vesicles in single cells have advanced the fields of neurochemistry and bioanalytical chemistry. He has produced approximately 380 peer-reviewed publications, accumulating over 30,000 citations and an h-index approaching 90, underscoring his substantial impact. Ewing has received major accolades, including three European Research Council Advanced Grants (2011, 2018, 2025; the latest €2.5 million), two Knut and Alice Wallenberg Scholar awards (2011, 2017), election to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Chemistry Class (2012), the Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry (2021), American Chemical Society Analytical Division Awards for Chemical Instrumentation (2006) and Electrochemistry (2013), John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship (1999), and Fellowship in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2004). He teaches graduate-level courses in bioanalytical electrochemistry, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and analytical separations, as well as undergraduate analytical and bioanalytical chemistry.
