Currently entering my 5th year as PhD student studying Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, working under Dr. Rigoberto C. Advincula. My research focus is in Additive Manufacturing (AM) of polymers and polymer composites, working with materials ranging from high performance polymers, epoxy resins, elastomers, as well as energetic materials. My knowledge and interests in 3D printing is not limited to only polymers, I also have experience in most AM techniques with a variety of materials (metals, ceramics, biomaterials, energetic materials, etc.). I am expecting to graduate in early Spring or May of 2025. Beyond this I am a driven individual with a passion for creativity and growth. I believe knowledge defines our future and I hope to pair my experiences with new ideas that will improve our world without the sacrifice of quality. I am detail oriented and strive for excellence in all respects of work. I am particularly motivated by problem solvers who, like myself, are not afraid to enjoy the process along with the results.
