Industry and academia experienced electrical engineer with strong background in successful research and development, systems design and hardware/software integration. Skilled at seeing the overall picture, and turning conceptual designs into successful functioning systems and products, delivered to the market. Adept at synthesizing multi-disciplinary skills and cross-pollinating subject matter by practicing engineering, the arts and emergency medicine. Proven contributor as project member and team leader. Experienced in the semiconductor, telecommunications and healthcare industries. Key achievements: • Enabled beta tool installation and assured projected sale of multi-million dollar tools to four major memory chip manufacturers by selecting, characterizing and validating off-the-shelf and custom image sensors for infra-red (IR) spectrometry. Managed IR sensor project by coordinating multiple functional groups to develop sensor assembly. • Ensured continued Department of Defense funding of US$10 million for the reflective electron beam lithography project by developing printed circuit assembly and helping cross-functional team to successfully enable electron beam column and test stand to print test structures on wafer. We were recognized with the KT Team Award for Q1FY13. • Extended product life span and also increased customer purchase of equipment and service contracts amounting to US$1 million by upgrading customer equipment with hardware and software to be “Y2K” compliant. • Secured funding of US$25,000 by authoring a successful grant proposal to carry out post-doctoral research in sensor validation techniques.
