• Reduced and characterized process variability in laser powder bed fusion, monitor the laser melting process in-situ to identify machine health and defects, and evaluate lattice performance in quasi-static and dynamic.
• Discovered process dependence of small features, using multivariate regression in Python, that can change performance by 2.5x.
• Compared statistical performance of witness coupons for process control, leading to metrics with 2x more sensitivity.
• Established statistical process control for process qualification and for establishing design margins for small features.
• Isolated how powder distribution, laser focusing, laser power, scan speed, build plate location, and slicer software versions affect geometric tolerancing and tensile performance in laser powder bed fusion.Engineered.
• Simulated high strain-rate loading of lattices with missing struts as part of acceptance criteria development.

• Improved time-resolved techniques, setup and equipment for x-ray spectroscopy of metalloprotiens. This required prototyping and design of new components and systems, data analysis of large data, and leading teams in.
• Analyzed large data sets (>10 TB) using Python to characterize x-ray intensity causes a femtosecond x-ray pulse.
• Created a rate equation model for a femtosecond x-ray pulse to highlight when traditional spectroscopic interpretation fails.
• Identified, fit and evaluated oxidation kinetics of photosystem II, showing Bayesian support of a reactive intermediate.
• Developed Arduino code for timing, sample delivery and measurement that enabled time-resolved spectroscopy.Mechanical | Electrical Design
• Created second generation x-ray emission spectrometers with three times the signal to noise, sufficient for time-resolved measurements for our team and a second for a collaborator, each for a different emission line.

• During the summer semester I was able to co-teach an introductory course in physics. The responsibilities included everything from writing the syllabus to assigning final grades, some of the most important personal.
• Design and develop lesson plans and slides with interactive question and engaging demonstration to assess and develop understanding of core principles during lecture
• Assign homework problems from a database according to outlined learning objectives
• Develop tests and practice test to evaluate student understanding and application of course material

• This research award was specifically for the development of a new x-ray emission spectrometer that could be used for studying dilute systems. This system had to be a low-cost solution, improve signal to noise, and.
• Designed, fabricated, and commissioned an x-ray emission spectrometer for <10k USD with 4x better energy resolution than a similar published design 300k USD, enabling rapid x-rays spectroscopy of metalloprotiens.
• Published a fabrication protocol for x-ray optics which allows any size or radius to be created while preventing surface distortions, this process is now used by the x-ray optics group at Argonne National Laboratory.

• A new introductory physics course, Physics for Life Sciences, was implemented at Purdue University. My responsibilities as a TA for this new course included:
• Leading a problem-based learning recitation where students worked in groups to solve biologically based physics problems
• Leading a laboratory course where students develop their own protocol to find solutions to physical problems using tools they were, or became, familiar with (microscopes and ImageJ).
• Assist in the lecture where students were asked to model, collaborate and solve problems as small groups.I also have setup and led a variety of protocol based laboratory classes which included responsibilities such as
• Lead the laboratory
• Setup and maintain equipment

• Ultrasonic Detection of Microscopic Breast Cancer
• Performed studies of high frequency (10-100 MHz) ultrasonic detection of microscopic breast cancer in post operational tissue resulting in a paper published paper on these findings. Studies of Low Electromagnetic.
• Created theoretical models for understanding nanoparticle coupling to a 10 MHz alternating electromagnetic field. I helped create computer simulations of heating mechanisms not previously considered and modeled their.
• Used computer models to identify the unique signatures in ultrasonic data collected from the cavitation of bubbles in vegetable oil. Simulations showed unexpectedly large effects at dilute concentrations (0.2-5.0%) and.

Analyzed ultrasonic data from Lawrence Livermore National Lab to verify that the MUSIC algorithm could image point-scatterers. This technique could be used to replace x-ray mammography with the safer and easier alternative of ultrasound when locating calcified micro-structures in mammary tissue, which are high risk areas for cancer.
