Awards
2024 - NIST MML Early Career Accolade "For remarkable contributions in heat treatment optimization of additively manufactured titanium leading to improved fatigue lifetime, revision of a material specification standard, and enabled use in critical applications."
2023 - United States Department of Commerce Bronze Medal Award (shared) "The group is recognized for discovering a new material phenomenon and developing a new control technique to significantly improve the service lifetime of 3D-printed titanium. This elegant and low-cost technique has enabled industry to, for the first time, manufacture parts from this material for critical medical device applications, such as hip replacement implants. This NIST advancement will lengthen the lifetime of critical implants and make them less prone to failure."
2021 - NIST MML Postdoctoral Fellow Accolade "For outstanding contributions in titanium additive manufacturing powder oxidation and reuse methodology leading to improved material reliability, part performance, and process cost."
