Professional Summary
Vamsi Kondapalli received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Cincinnati. His work focussed on developing processes to 3D print graphene, post-process graphene structures, and understanding the deformation mechanisms which led to the development of new graphene-based materials for advanced applications. As discovered and demonstrated in his work, the ability of 3D Graphene to extrude, micromotion of graphene flakes, and viscoelastic behavior are the major reasons that prevented the failure of 3D Graphene under stress.
