Department: Materials Science & Engineering
Concentration: Semiconductor

Before pursuing my Master of Engineering, I spent five years as a mechanical engineer, focusing on machine design in the semiconductor industry. I worked on semiconductor wafer polishing machines and various metrology tools and slurry systems. Later, I joined Farpointe Data, a company specializing in access control systems, where I held a product design role and managed the production line. I am particularly passionate about the semiconductor field, with AI as a close second, as I believe these technologies will drive our future advancements. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my adorable Dachshund, running, and getting back into fitness after four knee surgeries.
