Transform cashew nutshell byproducts into sustainable cellular materials that address environmental needs while showcasing innovative uses in various industries.
In the rapidly evolving field of sustainable materials, addressing environmental impact through innovative solutions is crucial. In this Build Project, you'll wear the hat of a Materials Engineer and develop bio-based cellular products using cashew nutshell liquid as a key component.
Under the supervision of an experienced industry expert, you'll prepare and test various sustainable materials, learning to apply cutting-edge analytical methods like FTIR and Karl Fischer. You'll become familiar with industry-standard techniques for material characterization and production, all within an environment that simulates real-world engineering challenges and team dynamics.

I am a Specialist Materials Engineer at Ambit Polyurethane, where my role encompasses a range of exciting and impactful responsibilities. I am specifically responsible for the development of polyurethane systems designed for 3D printing applications in the construction of buildings and residential structures. This involves conducting chemical synthesis of recycled plastic bottles, polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Material Science and Engineering from University of North Texas.
