About me

I work in semiconductor R&D. I strive to advance the state-of-the-art for high aspect-ratio etch techniques, toward enabling next generation DRAM/NAND memory technologies. My experience and expertise span new product development, new process explorations, and qualification for high-volume manufacturability & throughput. Chances are that your computers, portable devices and their AI capabilities were enabled by etch technology that I have been contributing to! :-)

I earned my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Rashid Bashir and (late) Prof. Mark A. Shannon.

Broadly, I am interested in Micro/Nanofabrication, MEMS, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics.
