Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Pennie is a 5th-year Physics student and research-focused engineer who blends hands-on electronics, software, and computational chemistry experience to deliver practical R&D solutions. He has led rapid development of custom sensing and lab automation for Vocus TOF mass spectrometry deployments, including international fieldwork for atmospheric monitoring, and has contributed code to the open-source Psi4 DFT codebase. Past projects span EV motor calibration research and high-performance computing tests of novel DFT methods, demonstrating fluency across hardware, firmware, and scientific software. As former president of the UBC Aviation Club and an active wildlife volunteer, he pairs technical rigor with leadership and public engagement. Based in Newton, MA, he is eager to apply interdisciplinary skills to collaborative projects addressing environmental and engineering challenges. An interesting facet: he moves seamlessly between benchwork in mass-spec labs and modifying C++/Python in open-source quantum chemistry.
