Major: Aerospace Engineering

Minor: None right now, but potentially Physics

Expected Graduation: Fall 2025

David recently placed first in the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Three-Minute Research Presentations, offering a glimpse into his groundbreaking research in the College of Aeronautics and Engineering. This platform, aimed at highlighting undergraduate research, allows students like David to showcase their work and inspire future applicants to the program.

David's research focuses on the effects of infill and walls on the ultimate tensile strength in 3D printing鈥攁n area that lacks extensive study. He explains, "Three-D printing is starting to become mainstream in manufacturing for rapid prototyping to final product. So understanding how these variables affect an end product is key." This research is significant in a nascent industry, and David envisions expanding to explore new materials or methodologies that could shape the future of 3D printing.

Presenting complex research in three minutes is no easy task. David focused on creating a logical path for the audience, emphasizing key points鈥攊ntroduction, relevance, preliminary research, methodology, and conclusions鈥攖o ensure clarity and engagement. It鈥檚 this approach, he believes, that secured his first-place achievement in the competition. For students aiming to excel in research presentations, David underscores the significance of good stage presence and effective communication in conveying research effectively.

David credits Dr. Ali Aziz for his instrumental role in guiding this research endeavor. Participation in the SURE competition opened doors and provided access to cutting-edge equipment akin to those used at NASA, significantly impacting David's academic journey. David鈥檚 biggest challenge has been time management and efficiency, which he has improved upon immensely over the years. He's also learned the value of camaraderie among classmates, fostering a supportive learning environment.

David chose 小黄片视频 for its burgeoning and dynamic aerospace program. Having experienced the trades before college, he values the idea of 鈥渘ever working a day in your life鈥 because you are passionate about what you do. The College of Aeronautics and Engineering enables him to pursue his passion.

David, inspired by the vastness of space exploration, aspires to work at or post-graduation. His love for aerospace engineering fuels his ambition to contribute to the final frontier of space exploration.

David's academic journey stands as a testament to dedication, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. Dare Mighty Things!
