Sunnyvale, California, United States

• Pioneer thin-film application processes which are licensed and transferred as the processes of record (POR) to several high-throughput manufacturers
• Document process procedures, specifications, and control plans in detailed standard of procedures (SOP)
• Lead role in increasing throughput by analyzing printhead degradation through Root Cause Analysis, a series of design of experiments (DOEs), and by simplifying processes based on experiment results
• Identify, perform, and track key performance indicators for establishing a baseline on inkjet systems and overall tool health.
• Partnered with cross-functional departments, including materials, optics, and R&D to ensure ink specifications were met and exceeded to improve various optical performance benchmarks
• Monitored and coordinated team-wide factory acceptance tests (FATs) to ensure tool and system functionally were fully tested and met within project regulations and standards

Sunnyvale, CA

• Conducted quality analysis on photosensitive material formulations
• Oversaw the chemical disposal program which included scheduling and maintaining hazardous/non-hazardous wastes pickups (Haz-waste DOT training certified)
• Experienced with laboratory administrative tasks such as routinely recording and storing various documents including COAs/COCs and haz-waste manifests for internal and external usage

Sunnyvale, CA

• Served as a supporting role in a chemical research lab for manufacturing liquid crystal photopolymer materials
• Collaborated as part of an R&D team conducting materials and holography research to improve key metrics

Department Of Chemistry

• Worked in Professor Jeff Curtis’ research group doing Ruthenium ammine complex synthesis,characterization, spectroscopy investigation, and data collection.
• High-res. differential UV-Vis absorption data were used to measure halide salt-induced “ionochromic” shiftsof ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) for various Ruthenium-ammine pyridyl monomer complexes.
• Project sought to probe the origins of novel (non-Marcus/Hush dielectric continuum) type of medium effects recently discovered in the Curtis lab.
• Extensive application of with Excel, SigmaPlot, and ChemDraw.
• Presented a formal research poster “A Comparison of Halide Salt Ionochromic Shifts Induced in Intervalence Charge Transfer and Ligand-to-Metal-Charge Transfer Absorption Bands of Ruthenium Ammine-Pyridyl Complexes” at.
