I am a materials scientist and engineer(MSE). I have a bachelors from Michigan Technological Uniersity(MTU) and am working on my PhD under Dr. Paul Sanders and Dr. Joshua Pearce. I desire to make a meaningful positive impact on the world. I intend to do so by expanding the knowledge base around 3D printers and their applications in society and industry. I am a senior member of the Alloy Research Center(ARC) and Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology (MOST) Research groups. My research interests are focused around sustainability and discovering novel additive manufacturing applications utilizing unconventional printing materials. I would like to focus this approach on expanding the application of 3D printing in space based initiatives.
