Since graduating from the University of Michigan in 2021, I have worked as a Materials Performance Engineer at Tekton and as a Senior Research Associate at Luna Labs USA. My favorite kind of work is hands-on in the lab, especially metallography, coating evaluation, and failure analysis. I have worked with manufacturers and research partners to refine processes and develop new technologies.My laboratory experience includes mechanical testing, electrochemistry, corrosion testing, and microscopy. Outside the lab, I write technical reports, present data to customers, and coordinate testing with outside partners.
