ATMI, Danbury, CT 2000 – 2009

Senior Technologist / Intellectual Property May 2007 - May 2009

Addressed aging, costly portfolio by assessing the value and business alignment of patent families and abandoning or offering for sale non-core or lower-value IP. Re-energized the creative engine of the company by creating and driving systems to encourage and develop high-potential ideas into new products.

●Realized savings of >$800k in 2008 (>$900k projected for 2009), representing a savings of over 25% of the overall patent budget.

●Partnered with Legal Team to create a new initiative within the company to strengthen relations with R&D/Operations.

●Greatly improved competitive knowledge of competitors using “IP Alerts”. Reduced litigation risk and identified ways to design around existing products.

●Eliminated the “file and forget” practices by assisting R&D teams in expanding patent coverage through patent engineering and IP landscaping, resulting in broader patent coverage and ultimately higher value IP.

●Hosted targeted Creative Problem Solving (CPS) sessions to identify, develop, and document innovative ideas for expanding concepts and for selecting the most promising projects to pursue.

Senior Research Engineer May 2000 - May 2007

Utilized Six Sigma methodologies to plan and execute new product development strategy and developed and launched successful, patent-protected products with high margin profiles.

●In-situ implanter tool cleaning (AutoClean®): Created completely new market segment for ion implantation with total available market (TAM) of $75million.

−Optimized product performance by conducting controlled design of experiments (DOE) from Black Belt training.

−Ensured product robustness by validating >20 customer “beta” tools.

−Minimized business risk by performing detailed IP landscaping to understand the competitive environment.

−Recognized internally for numerous efforts on AutoClean® program in 2008.

−AutoClean® won R&D Magazine’s “R&D 100” award in 2008.

●Semiconductor effluent abatement (NovaPure® and NovaSafe®): Created >$1MM new dry scrubber product revenue in 2003/2004 (>50% revenue growth). Launched a plug-and-play scrubber product with a 60-80% reduction in cost-of-ownership over competing products.

−Identified promising dry scrubber materials by performing nearly 200 screening experiments utilizing Black Belt knowledge.

−Unlocked the full potential of promising materials by developing a novel layering system (patent protected).

−Secured new business by working on-site with customers to evaluate the product and provide feedback.

−Won new major customers (Motorola, IBM, Emcore, Bandwidth, & Kopin).

−Awarded the Gases and Technology’s “Gassy Award” for abatement at 2004 Semicon West Conference - received by Matheson Tri-Gas.

−Dry scrubber business was a key bargaining chip when scrubber business was sold to Applied Materials (AMAT) in 2004.

●Other R&D highlights:

−Saved $500k by developing and implementing a process for reclaiming SDS® GeF4 cylinders.

−Commercialized solid-source “cluster molecules” with partner SemEquip.

−Created a flexible pilot production facility to support low/mid volume production of new product ramps for ion implant products including: ClusterBoron®, ClusterCarbonTM, and AutoClean®.

−Reduced exhaust requirements of semiconductor tools by working with the company founder to develop novel systems to manage airflow in a semiconductor fab.

−Served for 5 years on Safety Committee.

−Authored numerous patents and publications.
