EMPLOYMENT

EMPLOYED (OCTOBER 1998 - PRESENT)

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW

Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Performed pioneering research in the use of positronium lifetime spectroscopy to study void size distributions, void

interconnectivity, metallic overlayer interdiffusion and processing effects on low-k Si02 and silsesquioxane-based

dielectric films. Participated in the development of polymer film gas and water diffusion apparatuses. Worked to

design and construct a high-rate positron beam for low-k dielectric and polymer thin film research.

EMPLOYED (MAY 1990 - SEPTEMBER 1998)

RESEARCH ASSISTANT

Department of Physics University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Participated in the design and construction of positron microscope. Conducted extensive research on samples from

diverse areas of engineering and materials science. Co-developed a MicroVAX II operating system and multiple

device drivers to communicate with and control a wide array of equipment.

EMPLOYED (SEPTEMBER 1988 - SEPTEMBER 1998)

GRADUATE STUDENT INSTRUCTOR

Department of Physics University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Taught introductory mechanics labs and undergraduate electromagnetism. Departmental tutor in all areas of

undergraduate physics. Planned weekly lecture series. Taught upper level undergraduate physics electronics lab.

Taught introductory physics labs, discussion sections for mechanics and physics for non-scientists class.
