Brian Howell
Physics Informed Machine Learning and Optimization for 3D Printing
After receiving his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Brigham Young University, Brian worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a research engineer developing radiative-curing materials for advanced manufacturing techniques. He also spent a year at Google’s X, the moonshot factory working on materials optimization. As a PhD student, Brian on works multi-physics modeling and simulation of reaction kinetics in particle-laden inks & materials/process optimization. In his spare time, Brian is an avid endurance athlete.
