Cupertino, California, United States

Palo Alto, California, United States

Developed new materials and electronic/electrochemical device architectures for organic transistors and metabolite sensing electrodes to achieve high-gain, self-powered and untethered wireless chemical sensors. Designed protocols to recycle polymer-based battery electrodes with >85% efficiency for sustainable energy storage. Used electrical, electrochemical, spectroscopy, X-ray scattering and in-situ characterization techniques to understand fundamental structure-property relationships in organic semiconductors and device physics.Teaching Assistant for fully online graduate level course on Thermodynamics of >50 first year graduate and senior undergraduate students. Volunteer section leader for international online introductory Python class (Code in Place). Served as the lab safety officer for 3 years and helped research lab navigate COVID-19 safety protocols. Trainer of Dynamic Light Scattering in the Soft Material Facility for 1 year.

Redmond, Washington, United States

Worked cross-functionally with diverse R&D groups in Reality Labs to de-risk and translate hardware research in commercially viable products (reliability engineering).Conducted multi-variable characterization of materials performance in a competitive analysis: Mechanical properties, surface properties, abrasion and fatigue resistanceDeveloped new conductive and stimuli-responsive materials for wearables in AR/VR applications (invention disclosure in progress).
