Research Associate
Research Associate 3 - Microlithography Process and Instrumentation Engineer (2007-2010)
I served two roles, (1) as a clean room manager, and (2) as a process engineer. As a manager I:
•Managed a class 100 clean room facility
•Provided micro-fabrication customer service and research projects to ensure that project timelines are met, deliverables are produced, and that projects stay within the budgetary and other guidelines
•Was immediately responsible for over 20 microfabrication processing equipment and for the procurement and installment of new equipment
•Instructed and trained faculty, staff, and over 40 students/year on lithography processes and equipment
•Conducted studies to improve equipment operation and expand on equipment/process capabilities
Some of my duties as a process engineer included:
•Provided microfabrication services including LIGA, UV and X-ray lithography, mask fabrication, thin film depositions and surface modification, along with metrology.
•Supported research in the area of nanolithography and enhanced etching procedures
Research Associate 2 (2006-2007)
•Provided microfabrication services including LIGA, UV and X-ray lithography, mask fabrication, thin film depositions and surface modification
•Supported research in the area of nanolithography and enhanced etching procedures
•Independently supervised two Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) students with successful outcomes
•Worked flexible hours to meet customer demands and deadlines
Research Assistant (2001-2006)
•Assisted in the development of a CD-based biochemical micro-detection system.
•Utilized a hydro-gel for the localization and immobilization of molecular compounds.
•Electrically and optically monitored and analyzed biological and molecular activity.
