Post-Doctoral Engineer

Binghamton University, State University of New York NY

Apr. 2012-Present

. Led a team of researchers to maximize the harvested energy from

environmental vibrations

. Developed computationally efficient multi-physics reduced-order model

of MEMS devices

. Characterized theoretically and experimentally the behavior of MEMS

Research & Teaching Assistant

Binghamton University, State University of New York NY

Jan. 2008- Apr. 2012

. Designed and modeled a new concept of a combined sensor and actuator

for earthquake detection and low-g seismic applications and proved the

concept experimentally

. Improved the reliability of MEMS devices that are mounted on printed

circuit board PCB by modeling the effect of the higher modes of the

PCB to reduce its outcome on the MEMS devices responses which can risk

the proper operation of the MEMS devices and may cause mechanical or

electrical failure

. Modeled, analyzed and experimentally tested sensors and MEMS

components used in the industry.

. Taught classes as "MEMS Dynamics," "Mechanical Design" and "Control

Systems"
