Stephen Prichard
2020 Master of Engineering in AMD
Stephen Prichard has led the Additive Manufacturing Team at Owens Corning for the past three years. He previously worked at GE Transportation, where he championed the adoption of this emerging technology. He is a proud alumnus of Penn State, who earned a bachelor of science in aerospace engineering in 2013, a master of professional studies in supply chain management in 2017, and a master of engineering in additive manufacturing and design in 2020, and shamelessly wears blue and white in the “enemy territory” of Columbus, Ohio, where he currently resides with his family. He feels fortunate that early in his career he had the opportunity to be involved at the ground floor of this exciting new technology and looks forward to participating in the journey as additive manufacturing continues to grow and mature in the years to come.
