Garrett Godshall, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

Hi! I am a polymer scientist and engineer focused on applying these skills towards circular economy solutions.My graduate work at Virginia Tech under Dr. Robert Moore involved the investigation of process-structure-property relationships of polymer aerogels. We also applied our understanding of these systems through additive manufacturing. My dissertation is entitled "Rational Design of Poly(phenylene Sulfide) Aerogels Through Precision Processing."My skills include physical polymer gelation and thermodynamics, polymer characterization (thermal, morphological including microscopic and scattering techniques, rheological, mechanical, etc.), polymer science, analytical chemistry, additive manufacturing, polymer processing and more. My interests include sustainability and circular economy, polymer science, additive manufacturing, and the intersection of these fields.I love learning new things, conducting research, synthesizing literature, working with team members, and organizing my work around causes I am passionate about - mainly sustainability, circular economy, and materials science.In addition to my research, I have lead the VT Macromolecular Science and Engineering (MACR) Student Council as a Board Member for 5 years. We've worked connecting students and the program administration, fought for student-directed changes withing the department, organized recruitment and team-building events, conducted internal climate surveys, and held off-campus events.
