WORK EXPERIENCE
Employer:
Stanford University
Position:
Research Assistant
Time period:
December 2006 - Present
Description:
Jelena Vuckovic
CMOS compatible laser using pseudo-direct gap n+-Ge grown epitaxially on a Si substrate. Applied convex optimization methods to inverse design probem in electromagnetics. Implemented FDTD on a GPU cluster, resulting in 100-fold speed improvement.
Employer:
Stanford University
Position:
Research Assistant
Time period:
December 2006 - November 2007
Description:
Alberto Salleo
Investigated the formation of graphene via laser ablation of a SiC substrate. Modified an excimer laser ablation setup and used X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and electron-beam diraction to fabricate and characterize samples. Obtained preliminary results showing the production of epitaxial graphene with this method.
Employer:
University of California, Los Angeles
Position:
Research Assistant
Time period:
December 2004 - November 2006
Description:
Eli Yablonovitch
Numerical optimization of a surface plasmon grating coupler at an Ag-SiO2 interface. Developed a hierarchal optimization algorithm used to produce an optimized grating coupler topology. Formulated a scattering-center/transmission-line abstraction of a grating coupler used to reduce computational load. Wrote a Matlab program interfacing with a FEM package (COMSOL) implementing the optimization routine.
