About
I am a materials researcher and engineer with several years of experience in materials development and advanced manufacturing. My background lies in developing, demonstrating, and maturing advanced technologies for a variety of applications, ranging from electronic textiles to self-assembling nanotechnology, ranging in maturity and readiness from the earliest stages of blank-page ideation to pilot-scale production. My current role is with Blue Origin, where I serve as team lead for the polymer AM group's materials and process team and work to develop stable, mature additive manufacturing processes for crewed space systems. I have a particular interest in research and development for functional polymers, but have a love of any technical challenge related to bringing high-performance materials across the "valley of death" from the lab into the modern factory.
