Invent an inexpensive and disposable hybrid electronic device, built in-house using a specialized inkjet printer and custom inks, that incorporates integrated circuits on a flexible substrate.

Los Angeles, California, US

• Performed graduate research in IBM Fellow's Professor Subramanian Iyer’s Lab focusing on integrating bare-die silicon electronics in a flexible elastomer for bicycle chain approach.
• Focusing on using bare die electronics with gold plated copper electroplated electrodes on a flexible substrate to record muscular electrical impulses, also known as electromyography (EMG).
• Collaborating with other researchers to characterize electrode properties in physiological conditions using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Richardson, Texas, US

• Performed undergraduate research in Professor Walter Voit’s Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas focusing on implementing a resistance-based polymer pressure and temperature sensor to consumer applications and.
• Created a flexible sensor array with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) for measuring small temperature fluctuations.
• Used acrylate copolymer synthesis and different morphologies of conductive micro and nano particles in solvent with a planetary mixer and ultrasonic homogenizer sonicator to create an evenly distributed PTC.
• Characterized cyclic repeatability of PTC sensors and mapped change in resistance versus temperature using a custom PID controller and Peltier cooler.
• Assisted graduate students in cleanroom microfabrication of flexible temperature arrays.

Richardson, Texas, US

• Performed undergraduate research in Professor Orlando Auciello’s Lab focusing on thin diamond films for increased biocompatibility for prosthetic materials.
• Assisted post-docs in growing UNCD films using a hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) system and plasma- enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system.

Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, JP

• Summer research intern in Professor Takao Someya’s Lab focusing on conductive elastomers and ultralight organic strain sensors to be used in consumer and medical applications.
• Fabrication and testing of a conductive elastomer using a polymer and nano-flakes, capable of stretching 200% while maintaining low resistance.
• Build the hardware circuit and coded the software for practical applications such as dry-surface EMG electrodes and a flexible, stretchable textile touch sensor.
• Fabrication and testing of an organic, stencil printable, flex sensor using PEDOT:PSS, capable of measuring strain accurately up to at least 40%.
• Characterized the recipe using scanning electron microscopy and improved the fabrication to be significantly more reproducible and repeatable.
