I'm a final year PhD candidate in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Missouri S&T, advised by Dr. Greg Hilmas. I research ceramic composite additive manufacturing, using primarily direct-write methods such as Ceramic On-Demand Extrusion (CODE). I collaborate with other graduate students in the Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics (UHTC) and Innovative, Smart, and Additive Manufacturing (ISAM) research groups at S&T.
