Asha-Dee Celestine, assistant professor in aerospace engineering, likes to think three-dimensionally. With a research interest in advancing additive manufacturing and 3-D printing to create new multifunctional materials, she sees the opportunity to use these materials not only in the aerospace community, but for medical and nanotechnology applications.<\/p>\n

After receiving her bachelor\u2019s degree in mechanical engineering from Howard University, Celestine earned her master\u2019s degree in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University and doctoral degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She also worked as a field engineer in Venezuela between her master\u2019s and doctoratal degrees. After she graduated with her Ph.D., Celestine held a postdoctoral research position with Schlumberger-Doll Research and Harvard University for two years, before moving to join the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.<\/p>\n
