My primary responsibility is the development of our test and measurement optical receiver products. This involves managing a multidisciplinary team that includes optical, RF/microwave, and mechanical design as well as working with our operations team to transition parts to production.Our team also designs and assembles reference builds that highlight MACOM's wide range of optical semiconductor products.

In my position at Picometrix I lead a small, multidisciplinary team of engineers developing state of the art optical receivers and detectors. This includes overseeing optical, RF/microwave, electrical, and mechanical aspects of our designs. In addition to the technical oversight, I am also tasked with planning our product development projects and managing resources between them.. My team's responsibilities include: *Researching new technologies related to our products *Developing new optical receivers and detectors *Designing and implementing assembly and test fixtures *Supporting manufacturing and continuous improvement efforts *Collaborating with customers and vendors to create new oppertunities

I’m the primary optical engineer in the high-speed optical receiver (HSOR) R&D group. My responsibilities include the development of the optical front-end for our receivers as well as technical manufacturing support. I have also managed multiple projects from concept to production, varying from incremental improvements to new product releases.My day to day tasks include:*Project Management - Schedule, track progress, and hold short weekly meetings with the team to go over tasks.*New Component Evaluation - Design experiment, analyze results, and generate a report for various new optical components, ranging from optical connectors to photonic integrated circuits.*New Product Design – Work independently and in groups to create possible designs for future high-speed optical receivers.*Prototyping – Design and assemble engineering fixturing that I utilize to make proof of concepts and first articles of a new design.*Engineering Validation - Create Tests to validate the performance and reliability of a design.*Production Fixturing and Test System design – Work with mechanical and software engineers to design the fixtures and software that will be used in production.*Transfer to Production – Work with quality department to create all the required documentation for manufacturing and assist with training.*Manufacturing Supports - Assist manufacturing engineers and technicians to solve problems that may arise.I have experience with:Optical circuits (PLCs and PICs), micro-optic components, opto-electronic hybrid assembly, optical UV adhesives, fiber alignment, fiber fusion-splicing, fiber connector termination, PM fiber, glass hermetic seals on fiber, photodetectors, optical and RF spectrum analyzers, and general optical and RF lab equipment and components.

At NREL I worked in the National Center for Photovoltaic Development as part of the electro-optic characterization group. As a graduate researcher I was responsible for independently designing and evaluating different techniques for measuring minority-carrier lifetime in silicon solar cells. My accomplishments at NREL are detailed below.Designed a system to map the minority-carrier lifetime across a photovoltaic wafer:-Utilized HFSS to model and optimize a near-field antenna used to measure the change in conductivity off a point on a wafer when free-carriers are excited.-Automated the mechanical scanning, data collection and analysis of the measurement using LabView and Matlab to generate a 2D plot of the minority carrier lifetime-Modified system to be used for free-carrier absorption measurements to compare with near-field conductivity measurementsDeveloped technique for imaging photovoltaic wafers using an IR camera-Minority Carrier map using free-carrier absorption-Shunt Thermography for imaging shorts in polycrystalline wafers

I was a summer intern at Translume for two consecutive summers. My primarily work was on an oil sensor that utilized microfluidic channels and optical waveguides that were monolithically integrated into a fused silica substrate. My tasks included:-PCB circuit design to drive the laser and detectors-Alignment of optoelectronic components to the fused silica substrate-Prototyping of sensor, including packaging-Literature review of techniques to analyze motor oil quality-Writing reports on the data that I collected and analyzed.

EOT was my first job with hands on experience in the field of electro-optics. My primary responsibilities were the assembly and test of packaged photodetectors and quality control of components for faraday rotators. In this position I performed: soldering, die placement, wire bonding, fiber alignment, optical component testing, and documentation.
