• Designed and built multiple stations to test laser arrays and photonic I/O chiplets. Performed tests for laser: LIV, optical spectrum, RIN, linewidth, thermal impedance; for I/O chiplets: IL, RL, OFDR, Tx and Rx.
• Automated test stations by writing Python code infrastructure to interface with test equipment, execute a suite of tests and record the measurement data to a remote database.
• Contributed to the creation of automatic data analysis pipelines and used the analysis results to inform the design of products.
• Wrote and maintained documentation describing specifications, requirements and procedures for tests and test stations.
• Created schedules and cost models as part of planning activities for new products.
• Provided technical guidance and project assistance to junior team members, fostering skill development and team success.

I work in the field of optomechanics, using laser light to sense and control mechanical motion. My research focuses on the full production cycle of photonics/MEMS devices made of silicon nitride, starting with their design from first principles up to their characterization. As a result, I am experienced in the optimization of design parameters using.
