Undergraduate Student Researcher
--> Assisted with researching and understanding Laser Foil Printing, an additive manufaturing process.--> Awarded funding through NASA-MOSGC program and performed independent study to prove a newly developed additive manufacturing process could print complex geometries of metallic glass gears.--> Assisted in additional studies printing stainless steel pieces; utilized laserDesk software to operate a continuous wave fiber laser and a UV pulse laser to improve methods of laser foil printing process, prepared the resulting pieces to analyze the porosity and determine effective machine parameters.
