Guest speaker Dr. Desmond Bourgeois
Dr. Desmond Bourgeois obtained his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Florida A&M University in 2009 and subsequently earned an M.S. in Welding Engineering and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 2014 and 2015. His doctoral research focused on developing a new testing method to evaluate hydrogen-assisted cracking in dissimilar metal welds under cathodic protection. After completing his studies, Dr. Bourgeois spent five years in the Petroleum Industry as a Welding Engineer, Material Specialist, and Quality Lead, specializing in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and pipeline installations. He has since concentrated on research in in-situ monitoring for additive manufacturing and advancing ultrasonic probe technology for NDE.
Guest speaker Arjun Gupta
Arjun Gupta is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Mobility Systems (Automotive Engineering) at Kettering University. His passion for automotive engineering shapes both his academic and professional endeavors. Originally from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India, Arjun completed his undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at Vellore Institute of Technology in Chennai. Since enrolling at Kettering University, he has served as a Research Graduate Assistant, contributing to various research initiatives in mobility systems. Arjun is also an active member of the B-Section Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity and will join the NSF I-Corps National cohort in October.
