Materials Scientist in Additive Manufacturing
About Claire Borregine
In 2021, Claire Borregine led the team that cracked the thermal mismatch problem in carbon-fiber-reinforced titanium lattice structures, enabling the first fully dense, fatigue-resistant 3D-printed turbine blades certified for aerospace use without post-build hot isostatic pressing. Her breakthrough wasn’t just about new alloys; it was a rethinking of interfacial kinetics during laser powder bed fusion, where she introduced real-time melt-pool strain mapping via synchronized high-speed synchrotron X-ray diffraction and acoustic emission sensing. She works barefoot in her lab’s cleanroom annex, not for affectation, but because she calibrates vibration-dampening feedback loops by feel before trusting the accelerometers. Her notebooks contain more sketches of grain-boundary dislocation pileups than equations, and she insists every grad student mill their own tensile specimens to internalize anisotropy before running simulations. Claire doesn’t optimize for print speed or cost alone, she optimizes for *recoverability*: how much structural memory a material retains after thermal shock, impact, or neutron irradiation.
