Recently transitioned to new role as a cloud software developer for Electronic Design Automation as a Service. New role combines my completion of a 9-month IBM Research program in Software Engineering for Scientists (SE4Sci) with my 25+ years of industry research and development experience across a broad range of semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) types (logic, SRAM, DRAM, nonvolatile memory, analog).Experience prior to SE4Sci included the following: Design and layout of IC test structures, definition of inline electrical tests during wafer fabrication and offline tests of completed wafers. Design of process integration experiments and analysis of electrical characterization data to evaluate experiments, estimate defect density, and influence device (MOSFET, resistor, capacitor) models. Circuit simulation to select device design points for maximum yield and assess model accuracy against hardware data. Three U.S. patents. Independent development of educational package and teaching of internal short courses to improve cross-functional understanding of SRAM circuits used for technology qualification. One semester of college instructional experience teaching a sophomore level electronics lab as an adjunct faculty member.Detailed academic background (M.S/Ph.D. thesis/dissertation research) in fabrication and characterization of low temperature superconductor (niobium) tunnel junctions, for millimeter wave radio astronomy application of the Josephson junctions that have now also become a key platform for quantum computing.ORCID publication record: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3549-1351
