• Responsible for developing, integration and characterization of silicon anode architectures for a novel high energy density 3D lithium-ion battery.
• Silicon foundry liaison with close collaboration to optimize processes and enhance yield for wafer-level processes, including wafer bonding, metal sputter deposition, wet etching and electroplating.
• Continuously minimized process variations for anode electrode and electroplated metal current collectors, to meet scale-up and pilot line manufacturing requirements.
• Identified key product characteristics and implemented statistical process control (SPC).
• Closely worked with equipment engineering to design wet processing equipment for electroplating and wet etch applications.
• Collaborated in process control plans for wet bench pilot line processes.

Santa Barbara, CA, US

I managed several multi-disciplined MEMS projects at the development stages to meet cost, schedule and technical performances. In addition I supervised a group of engineers and technicians to achieve these goals. I closely collaborated with our strategic business partners during design, fabrication and testing of the products and transfer to production..

Santa Barbara, CA, US

As a hands-on lead process engineer in this foundry environment, I quickly got engaged in multiple projects at initial development stages. To meet the customers' demands, I implemented innovative integration techniques and fabricated variety of micro-devices including resonator gyroscope, RF switch, and biomedical devices. I also collaborated on several.

Los Angeles, CA, US

As the graduate student in the MEMS group, I gained extensive hands-on microfabrication and silicon wafer processing skills in the Nano Research Facilities of UCLA. My main project required designing a photo-assisted silicon electrochemical etching setup (porous silicon etching) and optimizing the fabrication of high aspect ratio trenches in silicon for.

London, GB

Before starting graduate studies at UCLA, I worked at the R&D department of Pentair Pool Products Inc. (formerly PacFab) and got involved in developing new injection molding products for pool and spa systems, includingh filters, heaters and pumps. I was able to learn ProEngineer and ProMechanica Cad tools in a short period of time and apply them for design.

Tehran, Tehran, IR

During my graduate studies in Iran, I worked as a part time project engineer in this consulting firm and got engaged in designing pressure vessels for petrochemical plants. I was able to apply my solid mechanical engineering knowledge in practical use and large industrial scale. I learned about ASME boiler and pressure vessel codes in a short period of.
