Key Tasks:• Responsible for health and throughput of patterning on 1000s wafers/week. Coordinated dozens of new product integrations, including foundry products. Qualified process changes• Ensured devices were within spec by monitoring SPC trend charts, including 24/7 on call rotations• Worked with etch, thin films, polish modules to respond to out of spec trends. Worked with integration and yield teams to address defect trends• Setup experimental skews to support program deliverables • Collaborated closely with mask design teams to generate masks to meet program deliverables, including order of magnitude defect reductions and device performance improvements• Explored fundamental techniques to reduce device variability. Qualified more complex, integrated patterning changes to chip architecture • Established and coordinated collaborations among different engineering groups• Formed teams, coordinated material resources, and analyzed data in pursuit of novel projects such as identifying new materials for gate formation and exploring process flow simplificationsKey Accomplishments:• Trained and mentored seven engineers in both technical and cultural aspects of litho process engineer role• Generated nine published patents with three more pending publication • Developed technique to reduce variability of Extreme UV patterned lines, allowing 50% cost reduction at device patterning and earning two distinguished invention awards• Helped develop and qualify scheme to allow removal of Extreme UV litho layer from flow, reducing product costs by millions of dollars over program lifetime, and earning a divisional award

I worked in Dr. Peter Taborek's low temperature lab. My work attempts to measure and quantify novel physics phenomena. This research incorporates a variety of skills including experimental design and innovation, computer programming, and scientific communication both written and oral. The work also requires several technical competencies including optical devices, fiber optics, lasers, vacuum systems, thermal engineering, and cryogenics. During my time in the lab I designed, built, and troubleshot a novel experimental apparatus capable of measuring nanometer displacements and nanowatt heat fluxes. This device operated in vacuum environments at room temperature as well as cryogenic temperatures.

Led 4 teaching assistants teaching 10 sections of physics laboratory class.Prepared course syllabus, exams, material, etc. Set grading curves and dealt with conflicts among students and teaching assistants

Led labs, discussion sections, and tutorials of up to 40 students. Tutored and mentored students one-on-one in the tutoring center.

Primarily involved in writing code for the COURE experiment taking place at Gran Sasso nation lab. This experiment sought to investigate the nature of subatomic particles called neutrinos. The code I wrote was in C++ and primarily dealt with data analysis. The experiment utilized over 60 different sensors in an attempt to record significant events. Each sensor recorded huge volumes of data much of which was erroneous events or noise. My program compared the noise across all sensors to look for correlations.
