As a continuation of my prior experience with Microscopy and Nanotechnology Engineering, I've been hired to use my NC-AFM expertise to do original research on furthering atomic electronics, artificial band structures crafted from precise placement of quantum dots, high-end scanning probe microscope tool development, and any other critical research directives of importance to furthering Canadian interests.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Working with colleagues, consultants, academic researchers, and customers to conceive, develop, track and improve atom-scale electronic circuits and devices. Being an experimentalist, I fabricate, design, and test nano-electronic elements using state-of-the-art scientific instruments (primarily a non-contact atomic force microscope). This requires I work closely with colleagues adept at modeling and simulation to establish a positive feedback between theory and experiment. I frequently am involved in preparing and protecting our intellectual property through patent applications, as well as assist in preparing business plans and applications for funding and investment.

Edmonton, Canada Area

Performed research focusing on building and characterizing silicon, atom-scale, ultra low power electronics for beyond CMOS and quantum applications.Low-temperature (4 K) ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) study of single-silicon-atom quantum dot coupling and charging characteristics on Hydrogen terminated silicon (100). This includes Kelvin-Probe Force Microscopy analysis and patterning/designing quantum-dot logic gates.

Grand Forks, North Dakota Area

I operated the International Space Station Agricultural Camera with applications toward optimizing crop yields using IR reflectometry. On a daily basis I would do mission planning, working with high end satellite tracking software and NASA operatives to plan imaging opportunities. I also calculated and optimized optical correction factors for the IR camera along with coding C++ based software that checked imaging opportunities against cloud cover forecasting data.
