• Drove design, integration, and launch of 10+ optical sensing and MEMS-based programs.• Owned the end-to-end execution of programs: system integration, executive communication, vendor and build management, team resourcing, issue resolution, schedule management and prioritization, product qualification and reliability.• Demonstrated a strong track-record of successful programs. Consistently met key milestones while overcoming technical challenges (design, reliability, and manufacturing), aggressive timelines, and limited resources.

• Spearheaded laboratory-wide research and grant proposal collaborations in coordination with CTO and Director of a United States research and development center • Developed an innovative program for commercialization of research technologies • Managed MIT-wide, $43M DARPA research proposal submissions and pre-selection with more than 90 participants• Created processes for evaluating and managing pipeline of sponsor prospects• Devised the marketing and broad public relations strategy for the laboratory

• Managed a multi-departmental study resulting in 52% reduction in renovation costs with impact on $2.1B in MIT-wide deferred maintenance• Advised a Fortune 500 company on integration of marketplace innovations and lab-bench research with its brand products • Developed a data-driven model for understanding the structure of 130 distinct research collaborations in the laboratory to drive new collaborations• Implemented data-based method of allocating more than 101Kft2 of research and office space

Cambridge, Ma, Us

Research assistant in the Integrated Photonic Devices and Materials group in the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT. Led the development of a broadband optical communication system in the infrared region as part of a multi-institution, $9.5M DARPA-funded project Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Within the scope of the project:• Modeled and designed heterostructures based on materials in the III-V groups• Simulated and designed modulator devices and lay-outs of mask-sets for fabrication• Developed novel processing methodologies in photolithography, etching, metalization, planarization, etc. and process flows in MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) and NanoStructures Laboratory (NSL)• Prepared and delivered quarterly reports of the progress in developing broadband modulators• Created a business plan with team of MIT Sloan Fellows that explores the commercial path of a free-space optical communication system based on patented modulator technology

Cambridge, Ma, Us

Taught three semesters of the course 'Micro/Nano Processing Technology' (approx. 24 students/term), and taught a mandatory class in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department on effective technical communication with over 70 undergraduates.• Created exams and problem set and test solutions • Held weekly office hours and exam preparation sessions • Graded and critiqued projects, oral presentations and problem sets• Assisted in class administration duties• Created and led workshops and recitations
