Ian Ho
Ian is a mechanical engineer who obtained his Bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech in 2018. During his undergraduate studies, he was a member of the university’s varsity swimming team and his senior year he served as the lead for the design and simulation subteam on the Baja SAE senior design team while also working as an undergraduate researcher for the DREAMS lab. Upon graduation, lan continued his work in the DREAMS Lab, where he conducted a design of experiments to print and characterize polyphenylene sulfide printed via powder bed fusion. This was followed by research on multi-material, multi-modality additive manufacturing systems, where he worked with embedding electronics in high-performance polymers. Currently, Ian is researching the use of multi-modality printers to enable the production of highly filled inks. Beyond his academic and research pursuits, lan has continued swimming at the professional level. In his free time, he enjoys playing disc golf and volleyball.
