• Used various Python libraries and SQL queries to create suite of alerts/metrics and initiated weekly meeting to gauge/improve module performance• Translated programs written in VBScript by senior engineers into Python and created setup/training documentation for team members without significant programming experience• Developed/maintained bespoke file transfer solutions for inspection recipes/results and created a SQL Server Database to track inspection information• Monitored inspection tool health by tracking false positives and worked with senior engineer, vendor engineers, and other stakeholders to drive improvement and address issues• Standardized and streamlined key steps of reticle usage risk assessment process that were previously reliant on input from senior engineer• Worked with stakeholders to qualify the first upgraded reticle storage units in fab and transferred learnings to junior engineers to qualify remaining units• Created methodology for multivariate analysis of environment dependent defect trends inspired by PID control• Worked with automation teams to debug and test systems relevant to the module• Contributed to mission critical excursion responses and provided adhoc data analysis to management as needed• Supported foundry and EUV readiness• Interviewed, trained, and mentored interns and new engineers

• Investigated degradation of piezoelectric materials under cyclic loads with Dr. Pit Pillatsch• Developed LabVIEW program to implement PID control for automated loading and measurement of bimorph piezoelectric bending beams • Processed and visualized sensor data using MATLAB

• Performed research in bio-imaging materials under the supervision of Dr. Gregory Bizarri• Synthesized the storage phosphor compound LiGa5O8:Cr3+ via solid state reaction• Characterized materials using X-ray diffraction and thermoluminescence• Analyzed thermoluminescence glow curves using the initial rate method
