Engineering ideas
into motion.

Developed processes and hardware across fabrication, chip packaging, and assay automation, bringing requirements from manufacturing and downstream equipment into the design. Packaging served as the interface between the chips, robotic handling, and assay instruments.

Designed, manufactured, and validated an automated synthesis system. Replaced fixed glass masks with a reconfigurable photolithography mask subsystem, enabling three times higher iteration efficiency.

Collaborated on wafer layout and chip sizing to improve production yield by 30%, and engineered a pick-and-place robot for silicon chip packaging.

Process development / System design / Automation integration

Designed a two-degree-of-freedom XY positioner with planetary and worm gear trains, applying GD&T and tolerance analysis for sub-degree alignment.

Integrated BLDC drives and absolute rotary encoders, simulated robotic systems in ROS 2 and Gazebo, and developed satellite trajectory generation and tracking algorithms in Python.
