• I worked as a researcher on Project Silica, My main tasks were:
• Development of new technologies for archival data storage in glass using a variety of laser-based processes and microscopy techniques.
• Leading and coordinating research tasks between different team members: optics, electronics, software, and mechanical engineering, machine learning and artificial intelligence teams.
• Technology scouting and literature reviewing to find novel processes and materials, including documentation and reporting of the findings and giving recommendations on research directions and product development.
• Cross-organizational stakeholder management and strategic thinking by engaging with, and transfer of knowledge to internal product teams and discussion with external suppliers.
• Dissemination of research and development results and inventions via drafting of patents and papers, conference presentations.
