Julie joined LLNL as a summer student in 2012 and became a staff employee after receiving her B.S. in 2014. After becoming a staff employee, Julie joined the Distance Learning Program with UC Davis to work part time towards her Masters degree while working full time at LLNL.  For her thesis, she created Field Responsive Mechanical Metamaterials which combined Projection Micro Stereolithography(PµSL) with magnetorheological fluid to create 3D structures that increased in stiffness with an applied magnetic field. Julie has worked on the development of various additive manufacturing processes, including PµSL, for over a decade at LLNL and is interested in combining 3D printing with smart materials.  Currently at LLNL, Julie is working on multi-material 3D bioprinting with PµSL and Direct Ink Write (DIW) of shape changing, responsive, elastomer structures.
