Person Profile – Special Programme in Science

Max Tan

Graduate Mentor

Chemist who likes to make things go "boom", "sizzle" or "crack". Loves engaging in comicbook-related science (lasers, spider silks and generally anything sparkly). Basically a physicist with no math skills and a life scientist with no memory capacity.
