Graduate Research Assistant
•Conducted research on applications of aramid nanofibers to ultra-strong structural composites and anode materials for lithium ion batteries
•Established correlation between branching morphology of nanofibers and subsequent mechanical properties of hydrogels and aerogels
•Devised method of using 3D printing to fabricate custom structures from aramid nanofiber solutions
•Characterized aramid nanofiber morphology using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
•Prepared hydrogels and aerogels from aramid nanofibers in solution, and characterized aerogel mechanical properties using atomic force microscopy (AFM)
•Devised statistical description of nanofiber branching patterns
•Responsible for assembly, maintenance, and use of 3D printers in lab
