Honeywell

Lead IC Device Engineering Technologist

SkyWater Technology Foundry

Technical Lead for the development and manufacture of a variety of customer product initiatives in consumer electronics, biotechnology, nonvolatile memory, and government/defense.

Technical: 
Responsible for integrating process flows to develop Travellers, coordinating with process and equipment engineers and technicians while utilizing the in-house MES and RSC systems to control and monitor lot progress through the fab, and performing on-wafer metrology, including ellipsometry (ASET) and benchtop electrical testing (Keysight B1500 w/ FormFactor probe station). I am also the cobalt silicide and MIMCAP module owner for several of our technology node offerings.

Technical Lead - Process Development Engineer, Principal

Applied Novel Devices, Inc.

Supervised technology development for the fabrication of an array of discrete semiconductor and microfluidic devices, including flexible photovoltaic (FlexPV) modules, power MOSFETS, 2D MOSFETS based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), flow cells for cell sorting, thermal exchanger, and micropillar arrays

Commercialization Highlight: 
Power MOSFETS with industry leading electrical performance (low RDS(on), low output capacitance/charge, low gate drive down to 2.5V, and near zero reverse recovery charge enabling low switching losses)
Currently being manufactured under a licensing agreement with SkyWater Technologies (Bloomington, MN, $120.16 million in revenue)

Director of Technology Development

Luminex Corporation

Designed, manufactured, and tested hardware and chemistry for the automated execution of in vitro diagnostic assays (i.e. real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and protein sandwich assays): Digital microfluidics (in collaboration with Advanced Liquid Logic, Inc. acquired by Illumina, Inc.), Digital droplet PCR (using controlled emulsions)

Platform for digital droplet PCR has become the basis for the controlled emulsion technology under development at Pattern Biosciences (Austin, TX, founded 2016, total capital raised $16.75 million) for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing.

Research Scientist II

The Methodist Hospital Research Institute

Co-developed, fabricated and tested electrokinetically actuated nanofluidic membranes for the active control of zero-order drug release.

Research Associate II/Instructor

Continuation of Post Doctoral Fellowship 

NanoMedical Systems (Austin, TX, founded 2007, total capital raised $10.2 million) was formed to commercialize the implantable Nanochannel Drug Delivery Systems based on these nanofluidic membrane designs.

Research Associate I

The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston

Fabricated and tested vertically integrated passive release nanofluidic membranes for the zero-order release of drugs.

Post Doctoral Fellow

The University of Texas at Austin - Microelectronics Research Center

Designed, fabricated and tested several platforms to investigate device physics and for chemical and biological sensing:
 
Nanoscale organic field effect transistors down to sub 10 nm to investigate scaling behavior

Ultra-flat electrodes and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) to interface with ion channel containing tethered lipid membranes and amplify their small signal ion currents for biological sensing

Organic and conjugated polymer thin film transistors for vapor phase chemical applications, with enhanced selectivity and sensitivity achieved from small molecule modifiers (i.e. cavitands)

Hybrid silicon/organic dual channel device for vapor phase chemical sensing that also enabled the study of charge trapping mechanisms in organic semiconductors

Graduate Research Assistant

Compaq Computer Corporation

Performed verification and testing of circuit layout on the ALPHA microprocessor (acquired from Digital Equipment Corporation acquisition, 1998) after schematic synthesis from RTL code and any performance-based modifications.
Actual dates: 08/1998 - 12/1998, 06/1999 - 08/1999, 06/2000 - 08/2000
