Raised in Lansing, Michigan, Hanin received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Michigan State University, where she worked on the total synthesis of natural products in Prof. Babak Borhan’s lab. Following graduation, Hanin went on to become an ESI PREP fellow at Yale University working jointly under Prof. Pat L. Holland and Prof. Scott J. Miller, where she pursued the development of novel iron-peptidyl catalysts for applications in site-selective hydrogenation. Hanin joined the Cook lab in 2023 and has since been working on atropisomeric C–N cross coupling. Outside of the lab, Hanin loves watching live musicals, comedy shows, playing the Guzheng (and other strange musical instruments), and dabbling in other creative pursuits.
