About
Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! I'm a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate from George Mason University currently employed as a Device Engineer with a focus on automation at a leading international IoT company - Alarm.com. During my undergraduate career, I worked on sensor development using carbon nanomaterials (most notably graphene) and developed a corrosion detection robot for the DoD Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office for my senior year capstone project. My involvement with interdisciplinary projects further grew my curiosity about all STEM disciplines and I enjoy increasing the breadth of my knowledge through interacting with the STEM community and sharing newfound knowledge. If you're interested in collaborating on a project with me, or just discussing any of my interests (horology, cooking, and all things engineering) please shoot me a message! Best, Farbod
