About


Ryan Huang

Just a weirdo who likes doing random side quests, and occasionally taking them a little too seriously.

Most of my time goes toward research in neuroscience, food security and photonics. I'd like to study applied mathematics, mostly because I enjoy finding connections between things that don't look related at first.

The question behind the research

Why does the same handful of equations keep showing up in optics, neurons and supply chains?

Beyond research

How I got here

Photonics taught me how much there is that I don't understand yet; that was the good part. Platepath, a food-access initiative, began with a simple question about finding affordable food and turned into a much bigger commitment than I planned, and it's where the food-security research started.

Off the clock

Volunteer, lifter, guitarist

Every week I visit a senior home and help residents with activities. At home I look after my younger brother while my parents work. The rest of the time: lifting (bench is at 255) and guitar.
