Additive Manufacturing

Graduate Research Assistant for Multi-Year NSF Research Project

Selected as one of the lead graduate student researchers on a multi-year NSF research project under Prof. Ufuk Topcu in collaboration with CalTech, UC Berkeley, Northeastern University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Process Optimization for Laser Metal Deposition

Iron-aluminide alloys are lightweight, oxidation-resistant, and highly important for turbine blade applications. However, they are notoriously difficult to manufacture. At Fraunhofer ILT (RWTH Aachen), I was in charge of laser metal deposition …

Improving Process Control for Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing

E-jet printing can deposit droplets as small as 240 nm — but only if electromagnetic noise does not drown out the signal. I diagnosed intrinsic and extrinsic noise sources and implement EM shielding strategies to enable precise droplet-charge sensing …

Undergraduate Research Scholar

Undergraduate research scholar in Professor Kira Barton's lab at the University of Michigan to study Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing. Dual-funded by the University of Michigan and RWTH Aachen University.
