## Work Experience
### Associate Director, Project Management @ Grifols
Jan 2024 – Present | San Carlos, California, United States

### Senior Program Manager @ 10x Genomics
Jan 2020 – Jan 2024 | Pleasanton, California, United States

### Director of Materials Characterization @ Capacitor Sciences, Inc.
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019

### Project Manager, Molecular Design @ Capacitor Sciences, Inc.
Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Menlo Park, California, United States
• Lead the development of new organic materials. Worked with cross-functional teams to plan experimental strategy, evaluate milestones, costs and risks, and prioritize projects and resources within the R&D Department.
• Managed contract research projects with third parties (CROs).
• Assisted the IP Department in identifying potential IP opportunities.
• Designed organic materials for energy storage, such as polymers with high permittivity and resistivity. Developed effective synthetic routes to access them, and characterization methods to evaluate their properties. Lead molecular modeling and crystal engineering projects.
• Provided technical and management guidance and prioritization for the Chemistry and Characterization Groups, and Manufacturing Department.

### Sr. Research Scientist @ Vector Laboratories, Inc.
Jan 2006 – Jan 2017 | Burlingame, California
Vector Laboratories is a biotechnology company specialized in non-isotopic detection systems for biological and medical sciences.
• Research and development in the field of biological detection and labeling (e.g. enzymatic and   
  fluorescent immunoassays, biotin-avidin systems).
• Optimization and troubleshooting of existing products (for in-house users and external customers).
• Development of new products (antifade mounting media, colorimetric substrates).

### Postdoctoral Materials Scientist/Engineer Fellow @ Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Jan 2004 – Jan 2006
• Conducted research in nanotechnology at the Molecular Foundry, a Department of Energy User Facility charged with providing support to nanoscience researchers in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world. 
• Actively participated in the establishment of the Organic and Macromolecular Synthesis Facility within the Molecular Foundry, in particular during the initial stage, and in the selection of users. Assisted scientifically and technically those users in pursuing research objectives of mutual interests. 
• Supervised the research work of undergraduate students.

Main projects:
• High performance semiconducting polymers for organic-inorganic hybrid solar cell.
• Semiconducting oligomers for self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces.

### Postdoctoral Fellow @ University of California, Berkeley
Jan 2001 – Jan 2004
• Conducted research in organic and polymer chemistry. Mentor: Professor Jean M.J. Fréchet.
• Supervised the research work of graduate students.

Main projects: 
• Novel semiconducting oligomers as surfactants for quantum dots for photovoltaic applications.
• Two-photon absorbing dyes for biomedical applications (photodymanic therapy).
