Takian Fakhrul, Grad Student with the Ross Group, researching photonics

October 2, 2018

When Takian Fakhrul was a young girl, her father, then a graduate student in materials science at the University of Manchester, would bring her along to his lab. During these visits, she would peek at structures under the microscopes or watch him polish newly synthesized materials. And she just…  more
