I'm a mechanical design engineer by training working on the materials team at a composites startup, Arris Composites, located in California. At Arris, I design hardware and processes to enable the creation of new composite materials as well as scale our existing material offerings. I have very niche knowledge about Arris's composites technology and about making prepreg, but I came to Arris with zero background in composites so am very excited to fill in the blanks of my basic composites knowledge in Professor Yu's AAE555 class.
