• Researched and developed a UV fiber laser process in a polygon scanner system for annealing display panels within a cross-disciplinary engineering team.
• Designed and executed process parameterization experiments to optimize for a <3% process window and recommend improvements to system design and prototype UV QCW fiber laser.
• Investigated results under optical microscope, SEM, and AFM and analyzed data using image analysis software (e.g., Scilab and ImageJ).
• Communicated progress in written and verbal reports to technical and non-technical audiences (i.e., project members, management, and customers).
• Experienced with active beam stabilization (e.g., piezoelectric mirror and AOD) and precision alignment of optical (e.g., lenses, mirrors, phase plates) and electro-optical (e.g., AOD, polygon spinner, quadrant.

Manchester, New Hampshire

Characterized process parameters over a variety of materials (e.g., stainless steel, thin metallic films, copper, LED wafers, sapphire, polymers, and silicon) on laser micromachining workstations. Communicated results in written and verbal reports to customer, internal sales team, and trade journals. Experienced with many laser processes including welding.

Toronto, Canada Area

Planned and executed pulsetrain-burst mode, ultrafast-laser ablation experiments on soft and hard biological tissues. Developed an ultrafast-laser micromachining system. Aligned optical subsystems including mode-locked laser, Pockels cell, and chirped pulse amplifier. Worked with team members to conduct experiments and analyze data. Assisted in writing.

Rochester, New York Area

Developed a bread-board, high-power laser system (frequency-doubled Ti:sapphire ring laser) with fiber-optic applicator to characterize dental calculus ablation at 400 nm. Optimized laser parameters for a clinical setting by working with scientists and clinicians. Constructed and operated several complex optical systems: high-power pulsed solid-state.

Gainesville, Florida Area

National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF REU). Designed and tested a passive optic to compensate thermal lensing in a chirped pulse amplifier by using materials with a negative thermal dispersion. Presented results as a written report and oral presentation at project closure.

Colchester, Vermont

Successfully obtained funding from the Vermont Genetics Network (VGN) and researched electron transfer kinetics using steady-state and time-resolved fluorimeters and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Presented results as a written report and poster presentation at project closure
