Hans Meyer (born January 1, 1990) is an undergraduate alumni of Stanford University and a current physics graduate student at Princeton University. He is currently working on his thesis developing the theory of quantum tunneling and it's possible uses for traveling at near light speeds. He often cites Richard Feynman and Marie Curie as major influences due to their contributions to the scientific method.

Early Life
Meyer was born in Salt Lake City, UT to German immigrants. As a child he excelled at athletics, and spent weekends with his parents at Brighton Ski Resort taking advantage of their 'Kids ski free' policy. This love of the outdoors continued through high school, and was complemented by his intrigue in the science of motion. Meyer earned high marks in science throughout his adolescent and teen years while still finding time to volunteer at local pet shelters, and continue monthly trips to snowboard in Brighton.

Education
After excelling in high school, Meyer's cumulative 3.95 GPA got him accepted into Stanford University. It was at Stanford that his focus started shifting from classical physics of motion to the seemingly conflicting theories of Quantum Mechanics. As an undergraduate, he was unable to secure a position in one of the physics labs on campus. However, due to the high demand for chemical students who understood quantum mechanics he found a place in a chemistry lab.

Upon graduation from Stanford with a B.S. in Physics and minors in math and chemistry, Meyer was accepted to Princeton University as a physics graduate student. His developing thesis focuses on the principle of quantum tunneling and the warping of space-time due to general relativity. His research involves studying the Many-worlds interpretation to determine if there is a probabilistic, cyclic link between decoherence and time.
