Bradley Sutliff (Fed)
Materials Engineer
Bradley Sutliff is a materials engineer focusing on using machine learning to facilitate a circular economy and enhance green initiatives. He earned his Ph.D. at Virginia Tech in 2022 for Macromolecular Science and Engineering while studying cellulose nanomaterials. Prior to that he earned his MS at Syracuse University while researching shape memory polyhydroxyalkanoate composites.
Brad's research interests center around using data analytics to ensure a more environmentally friendly tomorrow. Previous work has included synthesis of biodegradable polymers as well as assessing the processability of natural fillers for stronger composite materials. His current work seeks to enhance the tools at recycling facilities to enable more commercially viable recycled products.
