  University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

  Aug 2012 - May 2014

  Graduate Student Research Assistant

  Completed a master's thesis on highly doped semiconductors for plasmonics applications, with special attention to 'flat gratings' and the theory and simulation of guided surface plasmon polaritons in COMSOL. Fabricated highly doped semiconductor microstructures in a class 1000 / class 100 cleanroom on a regular basis, using tools such as: Plasma reactive ion etching (RIE), inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) RIE, doping furnace, photolithography spinners and aligners, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), metal evaporation, and wet chemical etching. Analyzed resulting samples using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, surface profiling, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Show less
