I recently joined from UC San Diego as a Master's Graduate Student having received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. I'm interested in mechanical thrombectomy, which is the cutting and removal of blood clots. This matches perfectly with the medical device research focus of the ME Manufacturing group.

I got my BS from MIT in mechanical engineering and worked for two years designing pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment. My research is on the control of multi-material silicone 3D printing. I've built my own silicone printer and made a computational model for the 3D printing process. I believe there is a lot of potential for new custom medical devices made with 3D printing to improve patient care. I chose Michigan for its unique combination of academic rigor and industry collaboration.

I started my Ph.D. in sustainable manufacturing after earning my bachelor's and master's degrees from Purdue University. I focus on carbon abatement options for U.S. industry and transport. I hope to take the lessons I am learning from my Ph.D. work and apply them to help improve local industries, societies, and the environment. I came here because of the extraordinary faculty, laboratory resources, and opportunities to collaborate with industry and researchers across the university.

I'm a Ph.D. student having previously received my BS from Stanford University and my MS here at Michigan. I received the Rackham Merit Fellowship in 2017 and the NSF Graduate Fellowship in 2018.

My research is on increasing the speed and accuracy of 3D printers using non-traditional machine designs (e.g., Delta configurations and robotic manipulators) and advanced control algorithms, utilizing data-driven methods. I chose Michigan because I had a deep conviction that both my advisor and the department were going to support my studies and wanted to see me succeed.
