Glad to join the @force11 community! As an R&D Engineer working on Additive Manufacturing and Metamaterials, I am deeply invested in Open Science and FAIR data principles.

Experimental materials data shouldn't be siloed in lab notebooks. By standardizing how we share process parameters and physical testing data, we can unlock massive potential for

Materials Informatics and Machine Learning. I'm looking forward to collaborating with others to make physical testing data accessible and interoperable for the global research community.
