Hello, my name is Showmik Ahsan. I am currently a PhD student here at Wright State University. I started my academic journey in Fall 2016. I finished my Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering in Fall 2020. I completed a Masters in Mechanical Engineering in Spring 2023. My thesis topic was: "Effect of Size and Shape Parameters on Microstructure of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718". I started the PhD in Summer 2023. I am aiming to graduate and finish the PhD in 2026. My topic for PhD is "Additive Manufacturing of Inconel 718 and 316L Preforms for Forging Operations".
