Research and Development Scientist

GRADUATE RESEARCHER, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - 08/2006-12/2012 Research on earth-abundant materials and epitaxial thin film heterostructures for use in a variety of devices including photodetectors and low-cost photovoltaic devices. Thin film growth was conducted via Molecular Beam Epitaxy, RF sputtering, thermal oxidation, and evaporation. Device design, simulation, optimization, fabrication, and testing were conducted to simulate a variety of uses and conditions. Optoelectronic properties of the heterostructures were engineered in order to tune the bandgap. Efforts resulted in world open circuit voltage record for approximately 2 months and advanced understanding of growth methods from simulation results. Enhanced absorption of light from ultra-thin layers using plasmonic wave guides. Design of a prototype industrial deposition system for fabrication of cells. Structural and electronic characterizations of the solar cells conducted using XRD, SEM, EDS, PL, Suns Voc, Hall mobility, RHEED, and TEM.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT/MARKETING INTERN, NITINOL DEVICES & COMPONENTS/CORDIS; J&J - 06/2005-09/2005 Characterization of Nitinol stents. Characterization methods included corrosion, and mechanical tests, SEM, radiopacity, etc. Data obtained from these tests were used to better improve quality control well as compiled into a document describing advantages of Cordis stents vs. the competition. A final report was drafted and distributed amongst sales representatives to highlight advantages of the product they were selling. This material was part of several changes made that increased sales by 35% year over year.
