Can a License have multiple names under the copyright? Basically I took Loic's code and made some small modifications and made it into a Platform app. I don't know if that's reason enough to add my name or the institute's, etc.

I think you cannot say that Loic Viens is responsible for all the files in the repository either. If you can extract the file you used, you can add this licence as a header to it. Otherwise, you'll have to use some mixed solution (see a post here https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/234511/what-is-the-best-practice-for-arranging-third-party-library-licenses-paperwork on similar topic).
Note also that you don't have to use the MIT licence for the rest of the code, any other can be used, provided the conditions of the licence are met ("The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.").

Here's also what AI suggests to do (you can try to make it generate a similar file if you wanted to use another licence than MIT):
