* Core team member of next-generation Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) backplane design for Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) used in Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS).* Developed and executed next-generation LCoS CMOS backplane validation plan working with internal and external resources.* Designed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation models and developed experiments for LCoS design and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)* Managed weekly interactions with the Liquid Crystal (LC) supplier and was responsible for the development of high birefringence LC for WSS applications, LC product qualification, LC quality control, and LC-related FMEA activities, etc.* Created procurement specifications documents for LCoS and LC. Led discussions with the LCoS and LC suppliers on the specs.* Oversaw LCoS device qualification testing.* Supervised co-op students and junior engineer.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Taught IC design and fabrication in the ECE department at Dalhousie University.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Studied the fundamentals of passive silicon photonics device and circuit design, fabrication and testing. Reviewed the theory of optical wave propagation, waveguides, couplers, resonators. Calculated common passive silicon photonics devices including waveguides, couplers, interferometers, ring resonators, photonic crystals using MATLAB and Lumerical MODE, FDTD, and INTERCONNECT. Designed mask and layout using Mentor Graphics Pyxis for Silicon-on-insulator process.
