I’m currently a Semiconductor Process Development Engineer at Raytheon Technologies. As a newly minted Ph.D. in Chemistry I have a strong background in and passion for materials science and process development. Throughout my research journey, I have gained experience in designing, synthesizing, fabricating, and characterizing advanced materials for applications in the thermal sciences and nanoelectronic recording and sensing. My expertise has focused on exploring new materials and deeply understanding their properties to improve material performance. I am highly motivated by the opportunity to develop cutting-edge materials to advance the technology landscape across various industries. I enjoy analyzing technical problems in great detail, finding creative solutions to tricky problems, and working with teams to drive forward projects over uncharted ground.𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Semiconductor Fabrication: Evaporation (thermal and electron), sputtering, lithography (electron and photo), ALD, wet and dry etch, mask and e-beam pattern design in CAD 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲: Scanning and transmission electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy (AFM, scanning gate microscopy), confocal microscopy𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: X-ray diffraction (single crystal and powder), 4-point probe, profilometry, dynamic and static light scattering, infrared, uv-vis, and X-ray spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬: Air-free synthesis, nanomaterial synthesis, surface functionalization𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠: MATLAB, C, Python, SQL
