Goal | Seeking an opportunity to actively support MEMS manufacturing through skills in research and development, prototyping, and electrical engineering. |
| Skills | Microfabrication, Photolithography, Sputtering, Etching, Thin Film Deposition, Mask Design using AutoCAD, Pro/ENGINEER, Mentor Graphics, ANSYS |
| Qualifications | Master’s Thesis: Design and Fabrication of a MEMS Electrode Delivery Device.
Designed and fabricated a BioMEMS electrode delivery device to produce neural stimulation in areas of the cerebellum and spinal cord. The MEMS device consists of sputtered metal contacts and an etched micro fluidic channel and well to hold the electrode. The electrode is pushed out by a saline solution pumped through the micro fluidic channel.
