Brief Introduction
I graduated with a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2006, from the University of Cincinnati. My advisor was Prof. Ala Tabiei.
I started my PhD in 2007 at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Delaware, and am a researcher at the Center for Composite Materials. My advisors are Prof. John W. Gillespie Jr. (Director, Center for Composite Materials) and Prof. Michael Keefe (Dept. of Mechanical Engineering).
