I am a Ph.D. Student and a Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Missouri. My research is focused on the creation of a topology optimization for the design of multi-scale structures using lattice metamaterials. Prior to joining COMO Laboratory, I spent one year as an Assistant Structural Engineer in the Oil, Gas & Chemical department at Burns & McDonnell. I also attained my MS of Civil Engineering at Mizzou, researching full-scale glass curtain wall systems subjected to blast loading at the MU Center for Explosion Resistant Design.
