Personal profile

Research interests

1st year PhD student studying topological optimization of W-Cu composites for use in future fusion reactors. My current research focus is on in situ mechanical testing and additive manufacturing of tungsten and copper. I hope to develop intricate composite structures that maintain strength at high temperatures without sacrificing thermal conductivity. I’m always interested to learn about other research in the fusion field so please feel free to send me a message!
