• 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

• 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
