• Contributed to the architecture, system design and validation of low-temperature plasma-based metrology sensing technology.

• Led the system design of all alpha products by defining performance requirements, creating, editing, and reviewing technical documentation including electrical schematics, mechanical designs, and software architecture.

• Owned the product testing and automation process by developing, performing and coordinating tests to validate software and mechanical system design.

• Fostered and implemented new documentation and build order methodologies to support process and engineering improvements across each build-cycle.

• Collaborated with a diverse group of scientists, engineers, and other technical staff to maintain, develop, and upgrade scientific equipment in a state-of-the-art research environment.

• Led the hands-on design, implementation, and testing of scientific and optical equipment, data acquisitions systems, vacuum systems, and computer control system across numerous projects.

• Managed engineering projects from conception to completion, producing detailed documentation, work instructions, and commissioning/validation reports.

• Performed complex simulation and analysis to validate mechanical design and support ongoing research efforts.

• Led the mechanical design effort for the product tool head, including part fabrication, and specialty procurement tasks with outside vendors.

• Conducted materials research and developed diagnostic and tool pathing software to improve high-volume continuous manufacturing efforts.

• Created work instruction, build guides, and process development documentation to help support and grow an early-stage startup manufacturing process.

• Independently developed a CAD management library to organize, store and categorize all existing company products and components.

• Developed Monte-Carlo simulations via MATLAB, TOPAS MC, and SRIM/TRIM to understand the scattering effects of proton and X-rays interactions that occur during dose calibration experiments.

• Explored simulation testing parameters to determine the most accurate model for replicating laser plasma accelerated proton and X-ray beam interactions in organic tissue (murine phantom).

• Created animations, 3D renderings, and other supporting figures to assist the research team’s scientific communication and publication efforts for the FLASH-RT project.
