Research Interests

• Investigate how knowledge of the initial residual stresses in wrought and additive aluminum materials can lead to new tool-path designs that improve dimensional tolerances for high-speed-machined parts.

Community Outreach

Michael supports the annual Engineering Brighter Futures for Autism. The program pairs engineering students with students studying other disciplines (e.g. occupational therapy) to assist youth that have challenges associated with autism. The strategy is to assist in the development of techniques to provide a methodology to foster education of people who have autism in order for them to use some of the characteristics of autism that may be useful in an engineering endeavor.

Michael also supports the Leadership Foundation for American Values making civics, history and leadership presentations to elementary schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
