Drew joined the Lab as a student in 2020 working on acoustic patterning of composites during 3D printing for printed electronics, battery electrodes, and thermal management materials. He went on to complete a postdoc and is now a member of the technical staff with expertise in micro and nanoparticle assembly during 3D printing, e.g. for optimized mechanical reinforcement, embedded electronics, and shape change. Drew enjoys working at the intersection of computational and experimental approaches and bringing together disciplines for collaboration.

PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from UC Santa Barbara; BA in Physics from University of Chicago
