Collan Henderson \u201919 (thumbs up) and his peers presented posters of chemical research projects at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in New Orleans. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In April of his senior year, Collan Henderson ’19 could have chosen to rest on his laurels. The recipient of an American Institute of Chemists Award at Transylvania University, he\u2019d already secured a full ride and stipend to pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Kentucky. One professor had even suggested he take the summer off before beginning the next leg of his journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Henderson was much too interested in synthesizing carbon quantum dots to simply idle in anticipation. \u201cThere\u2019s not anything I\u2019d rather be doing,\u201d he acknowledges. \u201cI tend to get really into things.\u201d So, after completing his senior exams, he jumped right into the lab at UK.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe research I started at Transy is pretty much what I\u2019ll continue to do,\u201d he says of his chosen field. \u201cQuantum dots, nano materials, are useful for their optical properties,\u201d he explains. \u201cThere are lots applications \u2014 from QLED televisions and solar cells to bio-imaging.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He likes the vastness of the uncharted territory \u2014 perfect for a Pioneer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really a new and emerging field,\u201d Henderson says. \u201cThere\nis so much to be done in every direction, and tons of new stuff to be\ndiscovered.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of what drives him is discovery \u2014 and \u201ca real interest and curiosity.\u201d Even in elementary school, Henderson was intrigued by science. Chemistry took the lead in high school. He liked its ability to explain the \u201cproperties of things, how things work from an anatomic, elemental perspective,\u201d he reflects. \u201cIt\u2019s always just really fascinating \u2014 how things work from a very small perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henderson is a Trimble County, Kentucky, native whose mother is a professor at Union College. He had read that Transy \u201chad the best chemistry program\u201d \u2014 his decision to attend \u201cwas pretty straight forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Transy he found the opportunities to discover what really\ndrives his interest. He gained first-hand research and presentation experience and\nthe broader liberal arts context that expanded his perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting with professor [Kyle] Schnitzenbaumer has been really great,\u201d Henderson says, recounting how he simply walked into his teacher\u2019s office at the end of his sophomore year and asked if he had any research opportunities. \u201cIt\u2019s really rare to have a liberal arts professor who\u2019s doing nano material research,\u201d he notes. The assistant professor of chemistry said \u201cyes\u201d and invited him to work on his project. “That\u2019s how I got into it,\u201d Henderson says. \u201cI really fell in love with it after that summer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that time on, he worked continuously on quantum dots, conducting part-time research during his junior and senior years and working on projects in classes of five students. He marvels at the \u201cindividual aspect of it,\u201d the access and close working relationship with his professor. \u201cThat helped a lot,\u201d he says, recalling how easy it was to receive guidance and troubleshoot problems. With his peers, he presented research at industry gatherings \u2014 last year in Orlando and the previous year in New Orleans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really great experience,\u201d he says of participating in poster presentations and talking with Ph.D.s, postdocs and professors who are pursuing and presenting research in the field. Returning from New Orleans, he knew that quantum dot research would be his direction, \u201cjust seeing all the different things going on in that field,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a relatively small field that is quickly expanding. There\u2019s a lot of potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part of his balanced experience at Transy included additional real-world experience, this time in the work force. Responding to professor Eva Csuhai\u2019s email about industry internship opportunities, he secured a paid internship in the quality lab at Buffalo Trace, under the management of another Transy grad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internship and job at Buffalo Trace were “really great,\u201d he says, and helped him become more confident that research is what he wants to do. “I knew I wanted to go on and do my Ph.D.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That ongoing support from Transy faculty extends through professor Jessica Brown, who has offered to help him when it\u2019s time to prepare to defend his dissertation.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Henderson concludes, \u201cI\u2019m really glad I chose Transy because of all of the research opportunities I wouldn\u2019t have had at a large state school.\u201d Likewise, he notes, the liberal arts \u201chelp with the writing and communication aspects of it. And it helps to not be completely buried in the weeds of just pure chemistry classes. You get more of a rounded aspect of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, while gearing up in the UK lab, he\u2019s also been excited to work with professor Schnitzenbaumer to write up the work completed at Transy. The goal is to submit it to a journal in the fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead to life after his Ph.D., he\u2019s interested in all the possibilities \u2014 of being a researcher or professor or potentially spinning off a business. He understands just how well he\u2019s been prepared. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
