      As a process engineer, I was tasked with quantifying the appropriate dynamics associated with material packing density during the LPBF process. To complete the experimentation, I implemented rapid prototyping with FDM printers, worked with machinists on producing fixtures for the experiments, operated LPBF systems, and conducted data analysis with Matlab.
