WORK EXPERIENCE
| Employer: | MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science |
| Position: | Graduate Research Fellow |
| Time period: | August 2011 - Present |
| Employer: | Intel Corporation |
| Position: | Graduate Technical Intern |
| Time period: | June 2011 - August 2011 |
| Employer: | Stanford Department of Electrical Engineering |
| Position: | Research Assistant |
| Time period: | April 2009 - August 2011 |
| Description: | I work with a research group that is developing a new type of solar energy converter. Incorporating nanomaterials is a promising technique for maximizing solar conversion efficiency and thus viability for utility-scale renewable energy production. I'm working on a simulation of electron dynamics in semiconductor nanowires to model photoemission yield and to help us better understand electron transport on the nanoscale. |
| Employer: | Stanford Department of Psychology |
| Position: | Research Assistant |
| Time period: | April 2008 - March 2009 |
| Description: | I helped out with studies on bias and implicit theories in the Dweck Lab. |
| Employer: | Air Force Research Laboratories - Sensors Directorate |
| Position: | Engineering Aide |
| Time period: | June 2006 - August 2008 |
| Description: | • Presented biweekly progress briefings to division officials and engineers
- Consistently received positive feedback on presentation skills and preparation • Researched odor sensors for robot navigation without GPS in physically constrained environments - Wrote pro/con analysis report to recommend optimal sensor type for navigation objectives • Collected GPS data to synchronize video and radio frequency data from small UAVs • Conducted tests of vision‐aided inertial sensor array - Used MATLAB to parse, plot, and analyze vision‐aided inertial navigation data - Proposed possible behaviors to correct inertial sensor drift • Helped secure funding from AF Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) for INSeCT lab task |
