SUMMARY: Obtain an Environmental Specialist, position that would utilize
my education, diversity and industrial experience. My
background is in research, quality control, and the
materials/environmental science industry emphasizing on
surface chemistry. Utilized reactor chemistry (MOCVD and
CVRP via Halide delivery for a template and thick-film),
separations, characterization, mass and energy balances for
the processing of thin/thick-films. This position would
allow me to utilize my knowledge of chemical engineering,
thin metal - films, and environmental protocols.
STRENGTHS:
> Have 15+yrs experience within a material-
science/environmental laboratory including clean room
("100"), modifying processing and production when
needed.
> Utilized VLSI technology (Monte Carlo Model).
> 4+yrs in research and development of GaN thin/thick-
film on sapphire substrate using CVRP and MOCVD as well
as other ceramic substrates and formulations for film
adherence to a substrate.
> Characterization experience with TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD, FT-
IR Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, and 4 point probe
for resistivity analysis.
> Utilized quality control (Quality Control Coordinator)
using, RCA, PCA, PHA, EHS, LOPA and PIP for analyst
production improvement.
Used Excel for most SPC.
> Compiled data for MSDS and standardized conversions
and followed AHERA & MCP for waste disposal protocols.
> Have strong communication/MS Suite computer skills
using Excel MATLAB/SIMULINK for running simulations for
transport.
