University of California, Los Angeles, Westwood, CA 6/2007 to 4/2011

Lab Manager

Wrote Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants for Magzor Corporation in part-

nership with UCLA for the National Geo-Spacial Intelligence Agency. The grant required a

complete technical description of the proposed device: a novel keypad device for improved

manipulation of images. Also included were budgets, biographical descriptions of key per-

sonnel, and GAANT charts and schedules, all done in the strictly prescribed format supplied

by the funding agency.

Expert in the TeX/LaTeX typesetting and publishing system. Wrote the UCLA Ph.D. and

Masters thesis format for LaTeX that will be included in the next official release. Wrote the

user manual and tutorials for these formats.

Developed documentation and training materials for finite element analysis package for micro-

fabrication processes.

Wrote quarterly lab reports, requiring interviews with all lab research personnel and doc-

umenting research results in a variety of disparate areas for both hardware and software

projects.

Wrote procedures for administration, operations, and maintenance for lab managers of Dr.

J.W. Judys Micro-Fabrication laboratory at UCLA.

California Institute of Technology 12/2005 to 4/2007

Consultant

Designed, fabricated, and tested micro-systems components of a novel particle sensor for

heliospheric research. This device is to be included in a new class of satellites used by NASA

for science missions with near-solar orbits for detecting previously uncharacterized heavy

particles.

Wrote weekly and quarterly progress reports for Cal Tech and NASA, detailing technical

issues, progress, problems, and other project-related information.

Wrote whitepaper on the micro-fabrication processes used in the construction of the projects

new particle sensor.
