Mesopotamia (Mia) joined the Han Lab in 2018 after graduating from Florida State University. Her research focused on utilizing phosphorous NMR and various magnetic resonance-based techniques to prove the existence of pseudospin entangled Posner molecules. Mia’s dissertation is on the topic “Elucidating Phosphate Cluster Formation Mechanisms through NMR”. Phosphates play a ubiquitous role in biology, […]

Audra joined the Han Lab in 2018 after graduating from the University of Wyoming. Her research focused on probing water dynamics on polymeric surfaces using a highly controllable polymer platform. She aimed to better understand the effects of polymer structure and chemistry on water dynamics to enable deliberate design of specialty materials for use in […]

Michael joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from Montana State University – Bozeman. Since then, his focus has been on characterizing the sequence-dependent function of intrinsically disordered proteins. In particular, Michael works with disordered regions of the A2a GPCR to understand the relative contribution of disordered regions to A2a’s oligomerization properties, and the […]

Kate joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. Kate’s research has focused on understanding the aggregation of tau, an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) implicated in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease. She has been primarily interested in how tau can form extraordinarily stable amyloid fibrils and aims […]

Kan joined the Han Lab in 2016 after graduating from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Since then, his focus has been on the spin physics and instrumentation of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in solid state NMR. Kan’s goal has been to improve the efficiency of solid-state DNP under MAS through development […]
