short biography

I earned my B.S. in Materials Engineering at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in May 2018. Simultaneously, I worked at Sandia National Laboratories on a variety of additive manufacturing projects. Coadvised by Dr. Zi-Kui Liu and Dr. Allison Beese, my current research focuses on how variations in processing and geometry impact microstructural changes in stainless steel lattice structures fabricated with powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) and how these microstructural changes affect mechanical properties.
