• Characterized implants using tools available in the Process Lab including Therma-Wave, Rapid Thermal Annealer (RTA), and four-point probe.
• Maintained tool uptime for equipment in the Process Lab.

Burlington, Vermont, United States

• Helped customers to tape out with designs that are compatible with the latest release of the process design kit (PDK) for various technologies.
• Provided guidance for step plan builds to ensure they are built to the customer’s requirements.
• Peer reviewed feature bill of materials, mask orders, and part number bill of materials.
• Helped to document the scope of severity-A design manual violations.

Princeton, New Jersey, United States

• Sustained two photoresist coat / develop tracks, three steppers, and a CD-SEM.

Princeton, New Jersey, United States

• Managed 4 atmospheric oxidation furnaces, 1 alloy furnace, 1 POCl3 furnace, and 3 LPCVD furnaces (TEOS, Polysilicon, and Nitride).
• Responsible for responding to furnace aborts.
• Proposed a recipe change in the TEOS furnace to drastically improve repeatability of deposition rate run-to-run.
• Identified element degradation on the POCl3 furnace that was affecting actual time-at-temperature.
• Identified a leak in the torch for one of the atmospheric oxidation furnaces that was causing corrosion in the gas shelf.
• Created a Python script to parse.csv recipe data and insert it into an SQL database for version control.

Princeton, New Jersey, United States

• Received certification as Qualified Machine Operator (QMO) for ion implanter. This is a New Jersey requirement for all particle accelerator operators, which requires the completion of 100 hrs of training, and passing.
• Proficient in the use of a Varian 350D ion implanter.
• Experienced in manual beam tuning and troubleshooting of issues on an ion implanter.
• Familiar with the recipe writing, operation, and calibration of a Rapid Thermal Annealer (RTA).

Princeton, NJ

• Performed FIB/SEM imaging to maintain a record of vias and contact step coverage across different lots.
• Performed tilt and cross-section SEM imaging for defect analysis.

New Brunswick, NJ

• Research Advisor: Dr. Dunbar Birnie
• Researched methods of creating copper bismuth sulfide (CBS) solar cells from relatively affordable, widely available, and environmentally friendly chemical precursors.
• Prepared precursors and ran reaction to create CBS of different doping concentrations.
• Operated rotary evaporator machine to dry CBS powders.
• Experimented with using spin coating to deposit thin layers of CBS on fluorinated tin oxide glass.

New Brunswick, NJ

• Research Advisor: Dr. Kang Li
• Created a Matlab program to measure joint angle between two sensors each containing a triaxial accelerometer and triaxial gyroscope to simulate limb movement and detect possible limb injury.
• Tested the program on a human subject to determine accuracy of sensors.

New Brunswick, NJ

• Research Advisor: Dr. Kang LiThe Aresty Research Assistant Program is a competitive undergraduate research program at Rutgers.
• Designed an end-effector for a snake-like robot in Solidworks to remove particle debris and osteolytic lesions during total hip arthroplasty revision surgery.
• Produced a life-sized prototype of the end-effector in stainless steel using direct metal laser sintering.
• Presented the research results at the Aresty Symposium to both judges and a general audience.

Dayton, NJ

• Filled deli orders, prepared ingredients, restocked shelves, and cleaned kitchen workspaces.

Jackson, NJ

• Ensured the safety of riders and enforced park regulations by checking for proper harnessing, minimum height, and loose articles, at Batman the Ride roller coaster, and Skyway cable car ride.
