My name is Alfredo Ocegueda; I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student in Materials Engineering at Purdue University under the advice of Professor Pipes. I got a bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico, which is my born country. I am a member of the Additive Manufacturing team lead by Prof. Pipes, which is focused on simulation and manufacturing of 3D pieces using extrusion deposition of composite materials.
