Senior🎓
Top SchoolSavannah Horowitz is a PhD candidate in Materials Science at the University of Virginia with nine years of hands-on experience researching corrosion, thermodynamics, and computational materials in high-stress environments. She combines academic rigor from a University of Florida materials engineering background with industry exposure as a materials engineer at Tesla and practical lab leadership developing high-entropy shape memory alloys and infrared-based welding defect detection. Her work blends experimental design, stress analysis, and materials processing—skills honed through student-led projects like ceramic mug design and a published undergraduate research project. Known for a playful, resilient spirit ("Be-leaf in yourself"), she brings curiosity-driven problem solving to both fundamental research and applied materials challenges.
