"Charles Lindemann"

"In November 2002, Charles Lindemann received the second increment of his $630,000 National Science Foundation award for his research titled "An Investigation of the Mechanism Producing Rhythmic Beating in Cilia and Flagella". He proposed this mechanism of axoneme function in 1994, naming it the "geometric clutch". Since then, it has drawn worldwide interest as the only plausible basic model to date for understanding the kind of rhythmic beating observed in, for example sperm motility."
