I am a student at Lehigh University in my senior year currently pursuing a degree in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) with a minor in Data Science. I am especially interested in the processing, production, and characterization of coating materials. I also have experience with aluminum alloy development through my capstone project where I focused on the anodizability of a novel aluminum alloy composition.Outside of my classes, I am involved in research with Dr. Nicholas Strandwitz in the MSE department. There I help with developing and analyzing ceramic thin films for electrical applications through the use of characterization equipment. This culminated in a publication and a poster summarizing my work from 2021-22. I am also on the executive board for both Club Fencing and the Student Materials Society, as well as a member of Materials Advantage.
