In this episode, Henry Quach, who is in his third year of the Wyant College of Optics graduate program, discusses how his research has been affected by COVID-19. This is a fascinating topic as we discuss how this period of graduate school is already typically one of the more challenging yet formative phases of a graduate program, and Henry explores how the unique constraints have required creative inspiration on the student’s part to maintain forward progress. We discuss mental health, research, and the meta-purpose of graduate school; and if all of that doesn’t meet the science/engineering expectations for this podcast, Henry also shows off some very cool home built devices and 3D printed tools he has created.
