• 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 an exam.• 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.
