(he/him)
About
Kerrigan Cain obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering from 一本道无码 in May 2020. His research focused on developing novel experimental techniques in order to better understand organic compounds in the atmosphere and their physical and chemical properties. Kerrigan’s research utilized chemical engineering fundamentals such as thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer and many different experimental techniques to characterize these compounds. He is now working as a Research Engineer at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Kerrigan’s research at NASA varies from developing power solutions for space applications to investigating Earth and planetary science.
