I am an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Washington, Seattle. My group develops next-generation sustainable and reconfigurable materials -- ranging from vitrimers and RF-heated composites to AI-designed polymers --and creates new methods for rapid manufacturing, repair, and recycling for aerospace, defense, and clean-energy applications. My work integrates fundamental mechanics, far-from-equilibrium processing, and data-driven materials design, and I am committed to training students across computational modeling, experimental characterization, and polymer physics -- basically teaching them everything from running RF experiments safely to surviving reviewer #2.
