Professor Paul Hansma received his B.A. from New College, Sarasota, FL, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. He came to the UCSB Physics Department in 1972 as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1976, and attained full professorship in 1980. He won the distinguished Biological Physics Prize in 2000 from the American Physical Society. More information is available from the UCSB Physics website (www.physics.ucsb.edu).

Jerry(Zongren) Zhang; Undergraduate research assistant; Email: zongren@ucsb.edu I’m a junior physics student at UCSB. I build apparatus and analyze data for chronic pain and neuroscience studies. I enjoy working with 3-D printers, python, and inspiring researchers. Outside of the lab and classroom I enjoy playing piano and Minecraft.
Emma Chau: is a 2nd year Microbiology student in the College of Letter and Science. She is interested in the fields of neuroscience and physiology, and hopes to pursue a career in either biomedical research or medicine. In her free time, she enjoys distance running and playing the violin. She is currently trying to teach herself coding in Python

Kelly is a 3rd year Honors Biology student at UCSB. She is interested in pursuing a career in medicine and is fascinated by neuroscience and orthopedics. In her free time, she enjoys playing sports and learning new languages.
Katherine is a third-year Honors Molecular & Cellular Biology student at UCSB, katherinehuang@ucsb.edu . She is especially interested in neuroscience, oncology and is pursuing a career in medicine. She enjoys working on experimental design, data analysis, and literature review. Outside of the lab, she loves traveling, music, and working out.
Javier J. Reveles, Hansma Lab Manager and Study Coordinator. for the Chronic Pain Science & Recovery Group. I bring with me extensive experience in neurotherapy, which includes over 17 years working for Medtronic, PS Medical in Goleta (now Medtronic PLC, Restorative Brain Therapies in Irvine). I’ve earned medical device catheter shunt kit design patent as a co-inventor. The LP shunt is used in treat hydrocephalus. I also served as a lab lead and senior R&D Technologist, specializing in experimental test set-up, proctor testing, as well as being a core R&D team member for the MDT Strata valve product portfolio and manufacturing line. I’m now thrilled to be part of the neuroscience team in the physics department at UCSB. Every day, I strive to bring this same enthusiasm to my work and collaboration with Professor Paul Hansma and our team of UC students in the Hansma Physics Research Lab.
