I’m a materials engineer working on wearable products, with a background that combines material physics and physics. The work I enjoy most sits where material behavior, product stability, and user experience start affecting one another.
I’m especially interested in questions that look small at first but become very visible in real use: how a finish holds up, how a component feels over time, how a material choice changes comfort, and how engineering trade-offs can still lead to a better everyday product.
Most of my work sits in the space where materials stop being abstract and start becoming product decisions. That includes materials development, product stability, coating-related engineering decisions, and the practical judgment needed to balance cost, manufacturability, and product expectations.
I tend to start with a simple question: what will the user actually notice? From there, I work backward into the materials question, the constraints, and the evidence needed to make a sound decision. My physics training made me much more disciplined about signal, uncertainty, and trade-offs.
I seem to do my best work in problems that look small at first but become very visible in use. Wearables are full of that kind of problem. A small materials choice can change comfort, stability, appearance, or cost all at once.
Running has become one of the ways I pay attention to product experience. Long-duration use reveals details that are easy to miss in a short test: pressure, movement, fatigue, awareness, and whether a product quietly stays out of the way.
Education
My academic path gave me two layers of training: material physics as a foundation, and physics as a way to structure questions more rigorously.
Master of Science, Physics
Guided study on thermodynamic fundamentals, with one-on-one discussions and research sessions.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Material Physics
My undergraduate training in Material Physics gave me the foundation that still underpins how I read material behavior and think about engineering trade-offs.
