Materials Reliability Division Cell and Tissue Mechanics Group Related Links:Employment History:2004-2007: Sandia National Labs (NM): Summer Intern Coordinated with Sandia scientists and technicians on development and testing of multilayered thin films ribbons for self propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) joining. Designed and deposited thin films using magnetron sputter deposition Evaluated properties of SHS thin films, including DSC (thermal properties), XRD and TEM (crystal phases), Auger (diffusion and intermixing of contaminants), and SEM (joint cross section)
2002-2003: National Renewable Energy Laboratory: Research Associate Deposited and characterized Transparent Conducting Oxides (SnO2, ZnO, Cd2O3, Ga2O3) for the CdTe thin film solar cell team. Characterized optical and electrical properties of TCOs using transmission and reflection spectroscopy, XRD, XPS (contamination), and Hall measurements (fundamental electrical properties)
2000-2002: Colorado School of Mines: Research Assistant Worked with graduate student on the deposition of novel TCO thin films (SnO2, ZnO & ternary phases) using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition. Education:Colorado School of Mines, Graduate Studies in Material Science, estimated completion 2009 BS degree in Chemical Engineering, Colorado School of Mines (May 2002) Contact
