       Micro/Nanoscale Characterization Methods

Related Experience:
(June 2005 - January 2006) Product Engineer (intern), Intel Corp., Handheld Sort dept.
       Operation and programming of die-level microchip testing machines.
       Fundamentals of industrial computer microchip testing and failure analysis.
       Industrial manufacturing statistical analysis and graphical modelling.
       Yield analysis, material dispositioning, tools programming, tech documentation.
(Aug 2004 - Present) Software Engineer, UNM Spatio-Temporal Cell Pathology Group
       I write/update a Tcl/Tk/Expect/R graphical user application that enables cancer researchers to easily do
       spatial statistical calculations on raw cellular data.
(Undergrad Junior/Senior Design Projects) Hardware Engineer, ECE UNM (Engineering college)
       In my junior year I designed and constructed a hardware/software system to detect and diagnose component
       errors on a small robot.
       In my senior year I designed and constructed an FPGA-based automatic chess annotation machine, complete with
       magnetic chess board, LCD screen, serial communications system, mini-printer, and Java Swing graphical user interface.
(Mar 2003 - Dec 2004) Research Assistant, UNM Plasma Fusion Laboratory
       My main assignment at the fusion lab was to construct the main (IGBT-based) pulsed power unit to supply 1 kA
       current pulses for the plasma chamber, and an accompanying 1 F capacitor bank (which now powers the
       plasma chamber). I also participated in purchasing, building cooling, cabling, & chamber hardware, and
       programming the PIC control system.

Background:
I grew up in Albuquerque, NM. I did high school speech & debate and I was an elite gymnast through college. My hobbies include orchid cultivation, stained-glass, high-power electronics, and animation design. I am highly motivated and was regularly designated team leader in college team projects.
