Brief Biographical Sketch:

I like computers, teaching, building things, 3D printers, and a few types of animals. I speak Chinese after living there for nine months on a school year abroad. While there, I taught English at a few places and taught Calculus when my classmates needed help. I work at the GAMBIT game lab for the time being, so if you have an interest in games come find me and I will talk until you are sad you decided to seek me out.

E6371: Basics of 3D Printing in Splash! 2012 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2012)
Ever wanted to have a model of your home in plastic? Can't find that last lego piece? Maybe you want to make a robot, but can't source the right parts? Say hello to 3D printing! Recently, the explosion of 3D printing as a cheap manufacturing method means amazing possibilities are at hand. I'll show you what 3D printing is, what it can make, and show you some examples of 3D printed objects!

E5851: Understanding DIY 3D Printing in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Have you ever wanted a machine that prints out every last-minute gift you could ever wanted? How about one that prints replacement parts? Maybe you just really need a science-y way to make that sculpture you've been thinking about. How about all of the above? 3D printing is a way to make fast prototypes or even just awesome models. Come along to see a 3D printer that anyone could assemble, and learn about why you would want to. 3D printers rule, and this class will teach you about what it takes to make one, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and maybe even let you print a model of yourself (no guarantees).
