I graduated from Bucknell University in 2020 interested in opportunities in aerospace and green energy. I worked almost 2 years for a weather sensing aerospace company called PEMDAS, where I developed a greater interest in 3D printing and prototyping. I returned to school to pursue a master’s degree in aerospace engineering, and had the opportunity to work at Oak Ridge National Lab for one summer. The projects at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility really captured my attention, and I continued my internship project as my master’s thesis. I recently returned to the MDF as a full time employee to assist in various new manufacturing technologies, including the Future Foundries project and other expeditionary manufacturing efforts.
