"Product Development"Mostly worked on optimizations to part assembly for a fill and seal station and checking that the output parts passed or would pass a validation study.Put together lots of machine vision based measurement and screening tools for checking part to part variation and identifying reasons for failures.

• Developed a sequencing platform through- breadboard prototype from OTS component- alpha prototypes with custom hardware. Worked mostly on fluidics system- beta systems, which have now been in the hands of customers.
• Hands-on testing, integration and optimization of microfluidic systems including fluidics, hardware, firmware, software, and chemistry/reagents
• Translate benchtop assays to prototype microfluidic systems
• Use standard lab instrumentation: fluorescence plate readers, fluorescence microscopes, thermocyclers, bioanalyzers, DNA sequencers, syringe pumps
• Conduct system level testing, assay testing, image analysis
• Develop and implement experimental test plans

• "NanoComposix is an early stage R&D company that aims to maximize the benefits of nanotechnology through the use of precisely engineered, highly characterized nanomaterials."
• Synthesized and characterized silver, gold, silica, and titania nanomaterials.
• When I'm down, I think about this place, and that usually gives me a good chuckle.

We produced a cell culture device to control and study the effect of oxidative stress in tissues. Specific applications were creating better models for studying cancer, aging, and wound healing.

• Lathon Technologies was a startup company that manufactured 3D printers and developed novel technologies to improve the additive manufacturing community.
• Company designed and manufactured the LATHON 3D Printer, a large format dual nozzle 3D printer.
• Created novel dissolvable and ignitable filaments

UC Davis

• Developed an out-of-cleanroom microfluidic fabrication technique
• Fabricated devices using dry films, photolithography, PDMS
• Characterized devices through material testing and microscopy
