Boise, Idaho, United States

• Designed a process for die height reduction for 3D NAND leading to an 80% decrease in required material in addition to reduced outgassing (co-authored paper published to internal Micron journal).
• Led a process development project to mitigate and characterize the EBR hump by evaluating a photoresist surfactant skew utilizing AFM measurements for DRAM devices with results being tested in Taiwan (F11).
• Drove a qualification project to achieve 95% planned redundancy for next generation NAND devices defining both processing/equipment requirements and specifications.
• Conducted DRAM/NAND failure analysis to resolve semiconductor process issues through SPC methodology and data analysis to mitigate future product line defects.
• Evaluated photoresists, reticles, process windows and its effects on overlay and critical dimension optimization on EUV, DUV, and I-Line systems.

Seattle, Washington, United States

• Developed a physics-based chemical milling model involving reaction kinetics, gas production, multi-phase fluid flow and the effects on the metal removal rate with complex geometry.

Jenekhe Research Laboratory

• Created a Python model to quantify electron/hole traps in organic field effect transistors.
• Designed experiments through literature analysis of layer-by-layer self-assembly of bicomponent conducting polymers for the synthesis and characterization of multilayer thin films.
• Synthesized thin films using polymer solutions and measured absorbance with UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Restorative Technologies Laboratory

• Fabricated and tested stimulation electrodes, optogenetic and epidural neural devices.
• Utilized the Axio Zoom microscope and Zen 2 software for image processing to test for the presence of laminin and axonal growth.

• Led a design project to build an ergonomically safe transport medium for the GEOCAL Phantom.
• Applied root cause analysis on equipment relating to Cyclotrons, X-Ray Systems, Cooling Systems, High Vacuum Systems, Sensors, High Voltage Equipment, Positioning Equipment, and Power Supplies.
• Analyzed datasets using Excel to find insightful predictions and create powerful visuals to predict the next source rotation with an accuracy of 2 days.
• Maintained Proton Therapy System through preventative & corrective maintenance, and system upgrades.
