Biography
Katherine Acord is currently pursuing a B.S. in Material Science and Engineering from the University of California, Davis. She has interned at JPL for the past two summers working on Research and Development for a proposed Mars Sample Return Campaign. She led a team of interns in mechanically testing the hermetic seals of sample caps and plugs against flight-like pressure and force environments of the MSR Campaign. She is currently researching the effects of Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) in the JMS laboratory group back in Davis. In her spare time, she mentors high school students interested in pursuing engineering through the AggieMentors program.
