Nikita Gennadevich Lukhanin

Hi there! I'm a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley. I have the privilege of working with Prof. Liwei Lin in the Liwei Lin Lab as well as Prof. Grigory Tikhomirov in the TI Lab.

Prior to this, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering advised by Prof. Joaquín Rodríguez-López and Prof. Charles Schroeder from the University of Illinois. I also hold an Associate degree in Engineering Science from College of DuPage.
