ACHIEVEMENTS (RECENT)

. Successfully designed and qualified the "IFC (Integrated Fluid Circuit)

Chip Carriers" (a high precision part injection molded with optical grade

COC) within the project timeline of < 6months.

. Developed "IFC Chip Carrier" with high density micro channels (100

microns width) and molded 0.4 thru holes (over 400 holes/ Carrier) to

avoid micro drilling and brought down the Carrier cost to half. Developed

Ultrasonic Welding joint with O-ring for a high performance 45psi

pressure accumulator with zero rejection.

. Received Hedgehog Award from Fluidigm Corporation (South San Francisco)

for successfully designing and qualifying the most complex Bio-tech

Plastic Device called Gen-2 Carrier with high density micro channels and
