I’m a Materials Scientist at Anderson Materials Evaluation, Inc., where I work on complex materials challenges through hands-on analysis and creative problem-solving. I earned my doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I researched thermoelectric materials and developed thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to convert waste heat into clean energy. Earlier, during my master’s studies at the University of Texas at Arlington, I focused on the dielectric properties of adhesive bonding in carbon composites.
