 Hi everyone. So my name is Amaran, I am a PhD candidate in Professor Webler's group in the material science and engineering department at the Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering currently in one of the additive labs on campus. I usually work on the one off campus at middle 19. This is also one of the labs which has some of these interesting machines. I am originally from India, particularly from Hyderabad. One of the interesting things about preparing for this competition, yeah, so I participated in the three minute contest competition last year and luckily I won the Alumni Choice Award. So it was difficult as to create a script for this year's presentation, especially since I've seen some of the best people participate last year and saw that really on stage happening and on top of that, I traveled to India return just two days before my preliminary round. So you know, with a lot of jet lag, I ended up writing this script like three AM in the night just the day before my preliminary round. So that was the really funny part that I could actually put words together and make such a make such a coherent script, you know, with all the tech lag going on, definitely that one. So there are two obscure facts about my research. The first thing is that I was able to make an inert atmosphere using a $100 setup which involves a plastic bag. Don't ask me why, which that is very interesting because this made a night and day difference in the samples I produced as the machine is like a million dollar piece of equipment, but a $100 fix was something that gave me good samples. I mean, whatever works, right? The second obscure fact is that tungsten is surprisingly brittle at room temperature even though one might think that this should be ductile as a metal. I felt that was very challenging and interesting at the same time. So me doing research at Carnegie Mellon means opportunity to collaborate and learn from the best and amazing people around me. Like there's so many opportunities and amazing individuals that I'm always overwhelmed by how much I can learn from each interaction I have with each person every day. It's truly a wholesome experience and I love doing this. So thanks.
