BIO

I work in control of manufacturing processes. I am working on creating and using digital twins of manufacturing processes with in-situ data collection and process control. Applications include: verification of low volume manufacturing processes with vastly reduced destructive testing, distributed recycling of polymers by material extrusion additive manufacturing, enabling recycling of hard-to-recycle polymers and in smaller quantities, and bound powder additive manufacturing of metal parts using less expensive feedstock with lower embodied greenhouse gas emissions.
