Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. I attended Virginia Commonwealth University for a year before transferring to Virginia Tech. It was here at Virginia Tech where I earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering as of May 2000. During my undergraduate summers I worked for Dacam Corp. designing packaging equipment. Currently, I am working to complete a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. My research includes the design and control of a piezoelectric linear motor for automotive applications.
Design and test a linear motor based on piezoelectric materials.
