# Lydia Sohn

Lydia Lee Sohn is a professor of mechanical engineering and bio-engineering at the University of California, Berkeley and the co-founder of Nodexus. In 2002, Sohn and Paul McEuen uncovered figure duplication and fraud in scientific papers on semiconductors written by Jan Hendrik Schön, leading to multiple retractions and concerns over peer-review, which is referred to as the Schön scandal. == Career == Sohn credits her parents who both worked in science related fields as an inspiration for pursuing science; her father would bring home objects from the lab like magnesium which she would then set on fire.
