Ryan Hanna
WPI Physics BS/MS, Chemistry BS - 2022
Projects: Ryan is working on MXene DFT calculations in collaboration with Deskins Lab at ChemEng, and on MXene surface chemistry in collaboration with Grimm Lab at Chem & Biochem. He is also writing a Python code for analyzing THz TDS images taken with Toptica TeraFlash. He is also a double major (physics/chemistry) and a grader for Physics Department. We all suspect he has a Time-Turner in his possession.
