An Age of Empowerment: Meet Hang Lu
Hang Lu, Love Family Professor in the School of Chemical and Biomoluecular Engineering
Even before Hang Lu found her career focus, she knew she wanted to do something different.
As she was finishing her Ph.D. in chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she found her interest wandering to other disciplines. She took a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in a medical school studying neurogenetics.
“It was partially serendipitous. I didn’t know this was the thing I would do,” she said, referring to her research work. But those two years gave her a chance to test things, explore, and — as she puts it — play.
