At IBM, I developed new solar cell materials and facilitated commercialization by a consortium of global semiconductor companies. Some additional details on my role include:• Designed and prototyped a new optical architecture for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTS) solar cells that improved the world-record for energy-conversion efficiency by ~10%• Developed and managed a complex project schedule as Team Leader for full-device integration; directed a team of contractors in order to accelerate progress• Utilized extensive microstructural analysis to guide materials development, including optical microscopy, electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, EDS), SIMS, XPS, AFM, EBIC, etc.• Transferred breakthrough improvements to partners/clients building prototype manufacturing tools. • Drove weekly reviews for senior management describing progress toward quarterly deliverables

As a senior member of a young laboratory group at MIT, I drove the development of new research directions while developing physical and human capital. I also delivered world-leading research in solar cell science. Some additional details about my role include: • Oversaw graduate student research, producing 8 student-authored, peer-reviewed publications• Identified funding opportunities, wrote funding proposals, and raised >$250k• Designed, deployed, and utilized a state-of-the-art optics laboratory, including light sources (tunable lasers, LEDs, lamps), imaging optics, GHz sensors, and automated data acquisition• Automated data acquisition using Labview & Matlab to manage complex instrument control (os-cilloscopes, signal generators, opto-mechanical components, NI-DAQ hardware, etc.)• Worked directly with vendors to source custom optical components such as optical filters; laid out mechanical design in AutoCAD, specified tolerances, and tested for compliance with design

At Harvard, I worked in Professor Eric Mazur's laboratory, where I drove discoveries in fundamental semiconductor physics and transferred results into technology innovations. Some additional details about my role include:• Developed laser-processing techniques for fabricating next-generation silicon sensor technology. • Patented multiple processing methods that are currently licensed in the CMOS imaging industry.• Constructed optical/electronic measurements requiring complex data acquisition and automation• Conceived and authored research proposals that successfully raised over $500k of funding• Worked extensively on laboratory measurements, data analysis, prototype development, and scientific programming using C++, Python, Mathematica, Matlab, etc.

At Philips, I worked in the Advanced Development group to build computational models and prototypes of next-generation medical-imaging equipment. Some additional details about my role include:• Developed custom extensions to a Linux-based C++ package for designing next-generation med-ical-imaging tools; utilized an open-source Monte-Carlo simulation toolset (GEANT)• Diagnosed imaging instabilities in prototype camera sensors; developed and deployed software-based corrections to ensure continuous development between hardware upgrade cycles
