Welcome
Thank you for visiting my personal website. Here you will find an overview of my Ph.D. research in Materials Science and Engineering as well as some of the work I have done while working at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. I have also included a section on my philanthropic endeavors. I hope you enjoy.
