Currently, he is taking a break from the classroom to focus on his lab work. The Cohen lab is devoted to investigating molecules and cells using physical tools. Tucked away in the maze-like halls of Mallinckrodt, his lab is the ultimate science nerd’s dream, filled with gadgets, robots, and a 2500 pound table floating on nitrogen filled air sacs...
While some may consider his area of expertise arcane, Cohen’s admirers praise his exceptional ability to explain complex material to the average person. His older sister, Zoe S. Cohen ’98 applauds his ability to translate his esoteric specialty into “something that makes it interesting and fun for other people...
