Katrina Hanson

Biography

I am pursuing undergraduate degrees in Applied Physics (with minors in Mathematics and Chemistry) and Bioproducts Engineering via a collaborative program with the University of Wisconsin – River Falls and the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. My time is shared among my roles as a full time student, a technical aide at 3M, and the president of the UWRF SPS chapter. I was recently inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma, which I consider to be a great honor. I enjoy participating in physics outreach activities, especially when I have the opportunity to encourage young women and girls to pursue technical careers. My hope is to pursue a career that will contribute to current research, development, and proliferation of sustainable material and energy technology. Singing in the UWRF Concert Choir, spending time with my friends and family, and doing creative projects such as crafting and baking are some of the things I do for fun.
