I’m a multidisciplinary engineer with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and a track record of hands-on work in semiconductors, battery technologies, and advanced composites. I’ve led plasma etch process development, performed cutting-edge microscopy and spectroscopy, and built functional prototypes using SolidWorks and lab instrumentation.
My career spans work in industry (Intel), national labs (NIST), and academia, giving me a unique lens to approach R&D, process scale-up, and production support. Whether it’s root cause analysis, process troubleshooting, or developing material systems for next-gen devices, I bring scientific rigor, creativity, and attention to detail.
Actively looking for opportunities within the process/equipment/manufacturing domain
