thermal inkjet head manufacture and failure analysis, reverse

engineering/competitive analysis, MEMS packaging, nanomaterials and

field-emission devices. Presented results to both individuals and

project teams.

. 2 patents

.

Staff Analyst, Auger Services, Charles Evans & Assoc. Sunnyvale, CA

8/1994-1/1997

. Provided Auger analysis in a contract-lab setting. Client industries

included semiconductors, process gas, disk and biomedical devices.

. Advised clients on best approaches to analytical problems using

techniques in and outside Evans labs.

Surface Analyst, Surface Science Laboratories, Mt. View, CA

1994

. Provided Auger analysis in a contract-lab setting.

Associate Engineer, IBM Corp. Almaden Res. Ctr, San Jose, CA

1988-1994

. Materials analysis support by Auger and Rutherford Backscatter

Spectroscopy. Main areas supported were magnetic-storage materials

including media and read/write heads. Trained users in SEM and Auger.

Department of Chemistry, University of Colorado, Boulder

1984-1987 (postgraduate research)

. Area of research: Adsorption chemistry of small molecules on ultrathin

(less than 10 monolayer) Pd films on refractory-metal and Au surfaces

. Built a surface-chemistry system with Temperature-Programmed
