I'm a third-year Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering at the University of North Texas, working on the development of multi-functional materials for extrusion-based 3D printing.

My primary research interests are in developing 3D printable bio composites entirely from natural resources. In particular, I aspire to develop corn-based printable mechanically-robust engineering-grade materials and investigate their multifunctional properties such as thermally strengthening mechanisms for tunable mechanical properties, harnessing self-healing properties for reversing fatigue behavior, and engineering composite microstructure via thermomechanical treatment integrated with 3D printing for biomedical and microfluidics applications. I also have broad interests in topics around 3D printing of Zn air batteries, piezo and dielectric sensors.
