Hayden Barrett

Hayden began working in the lab in summer 2012. His summer project was funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Pre-College and Undergraduate Science Education Program. Hayden's work focused on the synthesis of P3HT/single-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites using in-situ Grignard metathesis. The work was a collaboration with Dr. W. Joshua Kennedy at NASA's Johnson Space Center. Hayden continued his project during the fall 2012 semester.

 

Currently Hayden is in medical school at the University of South Carolina-Columbia.
