Jordan McKittrick-Hall

Jordan
Jordan studied undergraduate economics at Washington and Lee University in Virginia before seeing the light and beginning his career as a scientist at Columbia University, where he studied for a bachelor's in biochemistry. At Columbia he worked in the Ruben Gonzalez lab for single-molecule biophysics to probe the mechanics of protein translation. Although Jordan may have left economics, economics hasn't left him, as he was here to research equilibrium approaches to sHSP oligomer distributions and the structures of their intermediate states. His approach was largely theoretical, so he split his time with the Jonathan Doye lab, which used statistical mechanics to study soft matter physics. Jordan is now doing a PhD at the University of Cambridge.
