Work Experience
Founder, Principal Scientist
Evanescent Solutions
January 2014 - Today
Designed and constructed the first commercially available standalone interferometer for nanoReflection/s-SNOM measurements: the nR100. Enables nanoscale ellipsometry measuremnts. Designed and constructed the first commercially available TEC stabilized CO2 laser: s-CO2.
Application Scientist
Bruker
October 2012 - December 2014
Solely responsible for the design and prototype of the first fully integrated commercial s-SNOM system: the Bruker Inspire. Enables nanoscale measurements of optical properties of semiconductors and polymers Coined the term SPIR – scanning probe IR. Showed fastest plasmonic interference imaging to date: under 100us/pixel. Managed the training of the world-wide sales team of over 200+ in selling the Inspire product. Generated intellectual property: 3+ patents filed related to near field optics. Created new applications: Collaborated with software and engineering teams to develop PeakForce IR: a new AFM imaging mode for simultaneous measurement of mechanical, electrical, and optical properties.
Scientist, Postdoctoral Fellow
Anasys Instruments and University of Colorado at Boulder
October 2011 - October 2012
Solely responsible for concept through prototype of the first s-SNOM system. Led to nanoIR2-S product. Developed an amplitude modulation interferometric detection scheme. Assisted in the research of several graduate students at CU Boulder. Team achieved sub 10nm spatial resolution of block co-polymer nanostructures. Published in Nature Comm.
