mentorship
Students I have mentored through master's, undergraduate, and high school research experiences.
During my Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins, I mentored and supervised master’s, undergraduate, and high school researchers across projects in physical metallurgy, biomaterials, and materials characterization.
My mentees have co-authored peer-reviewed publications, presented at university research symposia, received competitive research fellowships, and continued into graduate programs, national laboratories, and industry.
