MATERIALS ENGINEERING/MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL

Secret Clearance

An engineering professional with over six years experience in materials research and fabrication, high

•

vacuum systems, materials characterization and engineering design. Gained extensive experience in

the development and fabrication of polymeric materials for optical, biological and electrical systems

while serving as both an Air Force officer and government contractor at the Air Force Research Lab.

EXPERIENCE

UES, Inc. 10/07 - Present

Scientist III, Wright Patterson AFB, OH

Served as a government contractor at the Air Force Research Lab in both the Optical Coatings Group, researching

and developing thin film polymer coatings for advanced optical systems, as well as the Biotechnology Group

developing biologically active thin films fabricated using polymer synthesis technologies.

• Developed and fabricated functionalized and micro-patterned, thin films using biological materials as

precursors for ultra-high sensitivity chemical vapor sensors.

• Optimized the precision deposition of organic thin film dielectric stacks for the design of flexible,

lightweight capacitors and batteries.

• Extensive involvement in materials fabrication and characterization. Materials experience including

polymers, ceramics, organometallics and polymer-ceramic composites for the use in optical, biological and

thermal systems.

• Designed and fabricated a novel sublimation technique and vacuum deposition chamber to plasma

polymerize solid state precursors including biological materials such as amino acids and peptides.

• Prepared and wrote portions of contract proposals for UES, Inc., used in obtaining $43million government

contract with the Air Force Research Lab.

US Air Force, Air Force Research Lab 4/04 – 9/07

1st Lieutenant, Developmental Engineer, Wright Patterson AFB, OH

Served as a Developmental Engineering officer at the Air Force Research Lab. Managed $1M materials fabrication

research lab for the design and fabrication of thin film coatings for optical, biological, thermal and electrical

applications. Air Force expert in thin film polymer photonics, a critical Air Force technology for thin film optical

filter research.

• Spearheaded plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition research for polymer photonics in the Hardened

Materials Branch of the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Lab.

• Experienced in materials characterization techniques including ellipsometry, SEM, FT-IR, mass

spectroscopy, UV-Vis, and XPS.

• Involved in the MISSE Program (Materials on the International Space Station Experiment) testing material

samples (coatings and coupons) in a space environment. Worked in collaboration with NASA, Sandia

National Laboratory and the US Naval Research Lab.

• Developed and built a space environmental chamber to test thin film coatings on sensor devices in a

simulated space environment. Saved nearly 16 months and $800K over a live space launch for basic

materials testing.

• Branch government purchase card holder, managed $120k equipment budget for research branch.

• Active in the Company Grade Officer Initiative Program. Developed and built first ever working IR

luminescent pen prototype for Special Forces night operations.

Sterilite Corporation 06/02 – 12/02

Injection Molding Machine Operator, Lake Havasu City, AZ

Operated polypropylene injection molding machines at Sterilite’s Lake Havasu City manufacturing plant.

• Hands on experience in a plastics manufacturing environment.

• Developed an intimate understanding of the operation and function of PP injection molding machines for

over a dozen different product lines.

ON Semiconductor Summer 2000

Process Engineer, Phoenix, AZ

Internship as a Process Engineering working in ON Semiconductor’s wafer fab, focused on process improvements

for the back face processing parameters of wafer fabrication including grinding, etching and probing.

• Optimized the processing parameters of wafer fabrication, including the grinding plunge rate, etching batch

time and probing to mitigate or eliminate many of the stresses placed on the wafer.

• Developed a novel biaxial stress model to calculate a more accurate measurement of die strength.

• Quantified the grinding, etching and probing stresses placed on the wafers during fabrication to help

prevent die failure.
