Work to conduct R&D and develop novel NDE approaches that surmount difficulties related to AM geometries, surfaces, and complexities. Apply cross-functional knowledge of AM microstructure/ property interactions and NDE technique physics to target applications for software automation, destructive testing, and machine learning. Develop qualification approaches for AM material, targeting fracture critical service requirements through quantification of detectability limits, material testing requirements, and defect criticality.

Long Beach, California, United States

Develop novel NDE approaches that account for AM geometries, surfaces, and complexities. Connect NDE technique physics to AM structure complexities and connect destructive testing data to non-destructive defect populations.

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Perform research to advance the characterization of additively manufactured nickel, cobalt-nickel, and titanium components with minimal destructive examination. Apply machine learning (artificial, convolutional neural nets) to increase the computational speed of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy-inferred elastic constants and infer additional microstructural information from 3D tomography data.

Conduct research to predict the microstructure, fabrication conditions, and consequent integrity of additively manufactured (AM) high temperature alloys using non-destructive examination (NDE) techniques. Resonance Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) used to interrogate the texture and elasticity of AM components.

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Teaching Assistant for Materials 101: Structure and Properties course. Course involves basic materials science, atomic structure, mechanical properties, and phase diagrams. Responsible for 25 student discussion section (weekly)

Visiting Technologist experience as part of NSTRF program. Collaborated with additive manufacturing group at JPL to research additively manufactured titanium alloys. Worked with modeling community to streamline resonance ultrasound spectroscopy codes and study non-destructive evaluation goals of JPL. Conducted remotely as a result of COVID pandemic.
