Optical Coating Engineer
CurrentI am responsible for designing new coatings for devices as well as taking measurements of devices post-deposition to assess the quality and performance of the film. I also use plasma in reactive ion etching to create nanostructures on optics that serve as anti-reflective coatings across a wide range of wavelengths. I am researching new nanostructure shapes, heights, and processes for applications in various wavelength spectrums. My role is also a leadership role where I am working with technicians and operators that I need to direct to achieve our engineering and production goals.
