WORK EXPERIENCE:

Ph.D. Research Project:

9/97-Present Stanford University, thesis project in the Electrical Engineering Department

under Prof. James S. Harris.

Researching GaInNAs on GaAs by MBE as a 1.3-1.55 m light source for fiber

optic systems. Grew devices including VCSELs and in-plane lasers and

performed material analysis. Extended high emission light output to 1.6 m using

Sb as a surfactant.

Internship:

5/98-9/98 Lawrence Livermore National Labs, under Dr. June Decker.

Fabrication of MEMS structures for adaptive optic applications. Modeled

mechanical response of electrostatically deformable mirrors.

Internship:

5/97-9/97 Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs, in the Optical Fiber Research Department

under Drs. James Fleming and William Reed.

Corrected important Sellmeier coefficients used in single and multi-mode optical

fiber by using the extremely accurate auto-collimation technique for measuring

index of refraction.

Senior Research Project:

9/96-5/97 Rutgers University, under Professor Stephen Garofalini.

DNA and proteins were analyzed at near molecular levels using atomic force

microscopy (AFM). Developed new methods in bonding biological

macromolecules to inorganic substrates.

Internship:

5/96-8/96 The Dow Chemical Company, under Dr. Terry Hu.

Studied plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of silicon

monomers on various substrates. Responsibilities included plasma and thin film

analysis, and development of new PECVD techniques increasing efficiency and

practicality.

Undergraduate Research Project:

10/94-5/96 Rutgers University, in the Department of Ceramics under Professor Stephen

Danforth.

Successfully used advanced ceramic materials including silicon nitride, alumina,

and PZT in solid freeform fabrication within the field of rapid prototyping.

Tasks included rheological analysis, compounding, extrusion and the analysis of

high solids loaded thermoplastics.
