I am a Research Assistant Professor in Aerospace Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. My research focuses on direct ink writing of functional composites, including continuous fiber-reinforced materials and energy-related multifunctional structures.
Research Mission
My research mission is to connect additive manufacturing processes with aerospace structural performance. I develop and study printing approaches such as coaxial direct ink writing, vibration-assisted printing, and photopolymerization for multifunctional composites and complex geometries.
The broader goal is to design printed composite materials with tailored mechanical, thermal, energy-storage, and functional properties for high-performance engineering applications.
