I am a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, developing ways to additively manufacture shape memory alloys to produce functionally graded structures targeting the aerospace and medical industries, with applications ranging from shape shifting aircraft wings to cardiovascular implants. I have interests in space resource utilization and in-space manufacturing, with experience in mission and vehicle development. My technical experience ranges from lasers and optical systems, robotic system hardware/software design and integration as well as thermal, fluid, and structural analysis on proprietary space vehicle architectures.
