Master of mechanical engineering graduate student attending Baylor University. Undergraduate research dealt with fused filament fabrication bonding criteria, ultrasonic immersion NDT, and barely visible impact damage in FDM composites. Graduate research has focused on high strain rate, shock testing, and impact testing of FDM electronics. Currently working on aluminum composite fabrication through the use of a solid-state additive manufacturing technique called additive friction stir deposition (AFSD). Hands on skills in basic machine shop tools.
