From 2021-2023, my research assistant role at JLab had an overarching goal of achieving a fully dense part using binder jet additive manufacturing methods, for aerospace and biomedical industry applications. This was done by comparing conventionally pressed parts with the binder jetted parts, as well as comparing conventional sintering methods with fast-firing methods. Currently, my research work involves soft, micro textured materials for biomedical applications.

From my time at JLab, I have two journal-published papers (linked below).
