Cleanroom Fabrication: Highly skilled (1000+ hours) in cleanroom fabrication ranging from mask making, lithography, dry/wet etching, deposition, growth, grinding, and CMP. Spectroscopy: Skilled (200+ hours) in FTIR, UV-Vis, Raman, and photoluminescence.Reflectance Characterization: Skilled (500+ hours) in setting up rigorous reflectance measurements including bidirectional reflectance distribution function, angle dependent integrating sphere, dual beam side port integrating sphere.FIB - SEM: Skilled (200+ hours) in ~10 nm resolution SEM and routine FIB cross-sectioning.Routine Material Characterization: XPS, Ellipsometry, Profilometry, Interferometry, Ellipsometer, Hall Measurement, Four Point ProbeSecured ~2 million US dollars funding from the U.S. government.Fabricated 0.0014 total reflectance material using silicon fabrication and polymer casting.Developed a high aspect ratio (>7:1) densely packed silicon pillar fabrication process using deep reactive ion etching.Created a flexible material with Lambertian-like reflectance to obscure spatial curves.

Atomic Force Microscopy Specialist: Highly skilled (2000+ hours) in contact mode, tapping mode, Dual-pass Kelvin Probe Microscopy, and Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM).Developed an atomic defect characterization technique for two-dimension (2D) transitional metal dichalcogenide (TMD) on the native growth substrate.Improved LFM lattice signal 20 times better than previous state-of-art.Validated LFM accuracy against CAFM atom-by-atom at the same location. Quantified atomic defect density on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) grown 2D TMD materials on the growth substrates.The results are published in ACSnano and were presented at Material Research Society 2023 Fall Meeting.

Developed techniques to manage ohmic and convective flow transitions, resulting in highly aligned extracellular matrix production through controlled electrospinning. The results are published in the Journal of Materials Science.

Developed volatile compound detector for cancer diagnostics under Dr. Reinhard Schulte.Designed and manufactured a vacuum chamber.

Investigating the effect of pedicle screw lead shapes on stress concentration under lateral and axial loading, the results were published in the ASME Pressure Vessel & Piping Conference. The paper was awarded first place in the BS/MS Division.
