I have over two decades of experience in multi-scale energy transport, ultrafast physics, wave-matter interaction, and multiphase thermofluidic science. This includes a track record of disruptive innovation, such as the "Cell as a Material" concept and repurposing biological micropipettes for thermal characterization. Leveraging a background in wave-matter interaction, the PI successfully repurposed ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) to characterize complex mechanical properties in 3D-printed materials, demonstrating a unique ability to translate fundamental physics into transformative tools for industrial quality assurance.
