About Me: I am a fun person with an unending curiosity for how things work and how we can improve them to make our lives better.
-
My Work: In my PhD I worked on an energy storage project for surplus wind energy. Now I'm helping people use 3D printing better which can lower our environmental impact for making things.
-
My Typical Day: My usual day usually starts with responding to other researchers and discussing ideas. I read other research from other engineers and scientists working on 3D printing to stay up to date and think of ideas for improving 3D printing designs. Some days I do experiments building parts on a plastic 3D printer which is a lot of fun.
