Katherine Xiang is a PhD Candidate in Physics at Harvard University.
Advised by Adam Cohen, Katherine conducts experiments to understand the effects of magnetic fields on fluorescent proteins. She also studies small molecule transport in cells.
As an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins, Katherine researched cell force generation and galactic bar buckling in the groups of Daniel Reich and Nadia Zakamska, and modeled intracellular calcium transport in Elena Koslover’s group.
Katherine grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.
