Interfacing with module, process and integration engineers to determine root cause failures and propose data data driven solutions.

San Francisco Bay Area

• Proposed research relevant to eLution's goals and received funding of $150k over two years• Designed fiber probe system for measuring the optical properties of skin and other turbid media• Validated fiber probe design by simulating it in non-sequential mode in Zemax • Worked with fiber manufacturer to improve the initial design, making it more cost effective to produce without sacrificing functionality resulting in a 36% reduction in price from the original quote.

Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

• Implemented Aspose optical character recognition for Java to incorporate into their flagship service MediMatrix.• Wrote XML documents for billing rate schedules to be used with the flagship product

New York, Ny

• Authored 11 publications with a total of 196 citations.• Identified and addressed weaknesses in our current method to collect data. which could lead to data misinterpretation and addressed them by developing a new technique to collect data • Conceived and developed a novel spectroscopic tool for investigating electronic dynamics at surfaces.• Partnered with 3 collaborators in academic and industrial institutions across various disciplines.• Managed the successful dismantling and reconstruction of over $500K worth of scientific equipment.• Recognized data insufficiency to prove claims and addressed the insufficiency by developing a new technique to acquire the required data.• Advised co-workers in experimental design and offered assistance to build and fix their experiments.• Consulted with coworkers to troubleshoot their experiment, resulting in the proper functioning of a $200K laser system.• Constructed a femtosecond laser oscillator with 65 nm bandwidth and pulse duration of 20 fs.

• Designed an automated procedure for measuring laser spot size, improving accuracy and decreasing measurement time by 80%.• Selected as one of 150 from a pool of ~6000 applicants to receive a $151K fellowship over three years. • Successfully persuaded research supervisor to approve a new research project by presenting a cost benefit analysis and a detailed execution plan. • Mentored 1 student currently pursuing a PhD in physics at the National University of Cordoba. • Formulated and executed a plan to build a near infrared fluorescence spectrometer using unused equipment in the lab which allowed me to complete one project investigating the fluorescent properties of NIR emitting quantum dots. The system was also used by fellow researchers. • Utilized unused lab equipment to construct a NIR fluorescence spectrometer, enabling co-workers to study fluorescent properties of quantum dots • Constructed a time correlated single photon counting experiment with a femtosecond light source, spectrometer and an avalanche photodiode. • Devised maintenance schedule for laboratory equipment to ensure proper functioning of timely repair of lab equipment.• Explained difficult concepts to new graduate and undergraduate students in our lab.
