izabela carpenter

Hi! I am Izabela Carpenter (they/them) and I'm a research technologist at the Ahmed Lab. I received my Bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Washington in 2022 and then joined the Master's program in MSE at UW. I am a member of the Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Processing, where my Master's work is focused on imaging and analyzing the microstructure of enamel from various primates, including orangutans and humans. My main research interests are biomimetic/bioinspired materials and failure analysis. Outside of the lab I like to watch movies, make art and try new things :)
