I lead QuesTek's Design Group, where we focus on applying innovative ICME tools to design and optimize high-performance materials and alloys for a wide range of applications.

Project lead and materials designer for numerous commercial and government projects focusing on alloy design for automotive, aerospace, energy, and defense applications. Technical focus areas included:

*Modeling process-structure and structure-property relationships

*Alloy design (stainless steels, high strength steel, cast steel, cast iron, aluminum, bronze, refractories, superalloys, magnetic materials, and more)

*Design and optimization of materials for additive manufacturing (AM)

Graduate student in Professor Greg Olson's lab.

Research topic: Design of fatigue resistant and biocompatible shape memory alloys for biomedical applications

As part of the OR Materials Analysis Lab's SEM/EDS and AFM groups, I supported technology development and factory operations.
