Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hi everyone! I'm a materials science major at Stanford with a focus in polymer and biological materials. After being very indecisive over what to study in college (I considered history, physics, psychology, and economics among others), I found my academic interests while working in a tissue engineering lab and then a 3D printing start-up. I'm just as much of a dabbler outside of school. Hobbies include painting, building websites, photography, and playing the guitar (poorly). I also love to travel. Can't wait to see you in class :) Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)E5355: 3D Printing and Image Processing in Splash Fall 2016 (Dec. 03 - 04, 2016)
How do you 3D print someone’s brain? Their heart? What is all the hype over 3D printing about? What even is 3D printing? This class will provide an overview of current 3D printing technologies, their applications and limitations, and current research. We will explore the science behind 3D printing modalities such as fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, and selective laser sintering. We will also give a brief primer on image processing and segmentation, and discuss the connection between 3D printing, 3D modeling, and image processing. Finally, we will cover examples of 3D printing and image processing, mainly for biomedical applications.
E4872: Science of 3D Printing in Splash Spring 2016 (Apr. 09 - 10, 2016)
What is all the hype surrounding 3D printing about? Why is it considered a revolutionary technology? This class will provide an overview of the capabilities of current 3D printing technologies, their limitations, and how people are trying to achieve better performance. We will then explore specific 3D printing techniques such as fused deposition modeling (extruding hot plastic through a nozzle), stereolithography (curing by ultraviolet light), and selective laser sintering (melting together fine powder), relying on basic chemistry, materials science, and engineering concepts to better understand the principles behind these processes.
