Feb 2015 - Oct 2016
Trained researchers and staff at the Quattrone Nanofabrication facility on all lithographic tools. Worked closely with research groups to increase throughput and hone processes to meet their goals. Characterized several new processes including direct laser write on silicon, novel SU-8 curing protocol, soft conformal imprint lithography, deep UV exposure, and nanoimprint lithography. Completed several autonomous research efforts including the development of whole blood microfilters for the size-isolation of circulating tumor cells and photonic sensor manufacture using NIL.

Fabricated optomechanical circuit components for integration into superconducting LC circuits developed by the Painter group. Utilized a gas field ion source (GFIS) microscope to fabricate 3.5-millimeter-long inductor coils with pitch of 150 nanometers. This small pitch maximized inductor impedance creating a circuit with high electromechanical coupling efficiency.
