Bio

I am a materials scientist and engineer(MSE). I have a bachelors from Michigan Technological Uniersity(MTU) and am working on my masters. One of my dreams is to make a meaningful positive impact on the world to improve the overall standard of living. I intend to do this by becoming the best MSE that I can. I am a senior member of the Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology (MOST) Research Group. My particular interests are focused around sustainability and discovering novel additive manufacturing applications utilizing unconventional printing materials. Additionally, I have great enthusiasm for understanding and manipulating micro and nano scale material surfaces and associated energies for creative material selection and usage. Lastly, I sincerely hope to one day help mankind move towards colonizing space through the usage of 3D printing.

Research

My masters research will be focused on developing a method of low cost synthesis of perovskite solar cells. This project will increase our understanding of perovskites and how they can be 3D printed and fabricated into solar cells.

-I am a 4th year materials science and engineering student at Michigan Technological University (MTU). I am also enrolled in the accelerated masters program at MTU. I will be completing my bachelors degree by Spring of 2016 and my masters by Spring of 2017. I am a member  of the Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology [MOST] Research Group headed by Professor Joshua Pearce.
-The role of an engineer is to enhance humanity and improve the standard of living. I believe that truly successful individuals should have a healthy disregard for the impossible, be unafraid of failure and have unyielding curiosity.
 ===Research===
 My masters research will be focused on developing a method of low cost synthesis of perovskite solar cells. This project will increase our understanding of perovskites and how they can be 3D printed and fabricated into solar cells.
-I am a student of EE5490 and will be doing research regarding photovoltaics integrated with aquaculture. This is a relatively new concept and has potential to be rather great.
