**** ****** ******, ******* ****, CA 91706 (C) 626-***-**** acq8id@r.postjobfree.com M.S. in Physics augmented with upper division and graduate level courses in engineering such as electro-optical systems, microelectronic circuits, and fabrication and manufacturing practices. Experimental electron scattering research provided applied, hands-on experience working with a team on various projects. Involvement in theoretical solid state physics research and teaching laboratory courses further reinforced communication in a technical setting and required skills in presenting abstract information. Looking for a challenging environment and interested in learning as much as possible in order to gain skills in applied science so that I may contribute to the company's objective. 2015
