About
Jennifer Jordan is a leading researcher in additive manufacturing and marine engineering, with a particular focus on the design and fabrication of underwater propulsion systems. Her most cited work, "3-D Printed Metal and Plastic Propeller Design and Manufacturing for Small-scale Underwater Thrusters" (2020), demonstrates her pioneering contributions to integrating 3D printing technologies into senior Capstone projects. In this study, she systematically addressed the unique design challenges of metal additive manufacturing for prototyping, offering effective strategies for producing functional, small-scale thrusters. By comparing metal and plastic printed components, Jordan provided critical insights into material selection, structural integrity, and performance optimization for underwater applications. Her work has garnered 7 citations, reflecting its practical value for both academic project-based learning and industry prototyping. Beyond this paper, Jordan is recognized for advancing the use of additive manufacturing in marine contexts, bridging the gap between theoretical design and real-world testing. Her research empowers students and engineers to rapidly iterate and produce custom, low-cost propulsion parts, making her a key figure in the growing field of 3D-printed marine hardware.
