Feb 2022 - Present
In my current role, I am responsible for leading and managing the Electronics Design team, ensuring high performance and ongoing professional development of team members. I prioritize creating a collaborative working environment, fostering strong relationships with other teams in order to achieve optimal project outcomes. I am also responsible for designing and implementing ultrafast methodologies for digital signal processing and communication. My expertise in designing fail-safe electronics makes me well-suited to creating solutions for healthcare applications, where safety is paramount. I am also highly skilled in designing high-speed, high-density, and impedance-controlled printed circuit boards (PCBs), which have been integral to the success of several projects. Show less

I was responsible for leading the design, programming, and manufacture of a high-speed bipolar high-voltage pulser and biasing board with 256 active channels for ultrasound imaging. The board was equipped with over 2500 MOSFET transistors, which were controlled and monitored in real-time to achieve optimal performance.Working closely with my colleagues, I leveraged our in-house fabricated ultrasound transducers to perform high-resolution real-time 3D ultrasound imaging. This project represented a significant breakthrough in the field, as it was the first time that 3D ultrasound imaging had been performed in real-time with a resolution smaller than the width of a human hair (100 um).

With over four years of experience in cleanroom and microfabrication, I have honed my skills in a wide range of deposition and etching processes, as well as wafer processing techniques and characterization tools.I am well-versed in deposition processes including sputtering, E-beam evaporation, thermal oxidation, and PECVD, and have extensive experience with a variety of etching processes including ICP-RIE, RIE, wet etching, and DRIE. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with wafer processing techniques such as bonding, dicing, cleaning, lithography, and lift-off.I have also gained significant experience with a range of characterization tools, including AFM, HiM, SEM, FESEM, optical profilometer, vibrometer, probe station, and CV tests. These tools have been critical to my success in developing and optimizing microfabrication processes and products. Show less
