Description
Career Highlights and Skills TECHNICAL * Experience in synthesis and characterization, with focus on relationship between processing, structure-microstructure & other properties towards performance of functional materials. * Experience in depositing thin films by using RF ion beam sputtering, DC sputtering, thermal evaporation, Spray Pyrolysis and electrodeposition as well as in synthesizing semiconductor and metal oxides using solid state reaction method and by chemical route. * Operated, maintained and interpreted results from high end equipment including X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), PPMS, Scanning Electron Microscope, Differential scanning calorimetry and many more * Experience in Weibull & ALTA for life prediction of components. Experience in creating the necessary test plans for conducting Reliability testing * Hands on experience in setting up tests, creating test fixtures and performing data acquisition * Developing new processes, methods, and models to enhance life. * Gained extensive experience in using MATLAB, Fortran, MINITAB, C++, JMP, R, Origin for statistical data analysis. * Understanding of FMEA, Design of Experiments (DOE) and root cause analysis. MANAGEMENT * Experience in creating project schedules by taking inputs from cross functional team, understanding project plan, calculating time requirements, and sequencing / paralleling project elements * Coordinated and prioritized lab work to meet engineering and field failure analysis need * Maintained schedule by monitoring project progress, coordinating activities, and effective communication across various teams. * Prepared project status reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information and trends and recommend actions * Negotiated technical and financial contracts for large-scale equipment acquisition. LEADERSHIP AND ABILITIES * Ability to work with cross functional teams from production, engineering, reliability and field to get a complete understanding for failure analysis and provide solutions. * Successfully engaged in creative problem solving in a heterogeneous environment of peers, supervisors and professional staff. Ability to work independently as well as within a team, good communication skills, open to new ideas and willing to learn. * Experience of taking courses for graduate and masters students and mentored graduate students towards their professional degree. Accomplishments * Awarded Best Poster in MRS Fall Meeting 2006, BOSTON and ICSM-2008, SIDE-ANTALYA (Turkey) Aug 25 - 29, 2008 * Designed experimental setup and demonstrated direct conversion of heat to electricity at small temperature difference that was covered by Popular Science today http://www.popsci.com/ and the Breaking Story in NSF's Science 360 http://news.science360.gov/files/. * Awarded Gold Medal both in Master of Science in physics and Bachelor of Science. * Received scholarship on merit basis during all the 5years of B.Sc and MSc from university. * Qualified GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test of Engineering) and National Eligibility Test (in top 10%), both of which are highly competitive all India examinations for Master's and Graduate studies in prestigious institutes of India. * Awarded DAAD (Indo-German) fellowship in 2006-7 and BOYSCAST (India-US fellowship) in 2010. 2008 * Investigated and established conditions under which room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) is intrinsic in nature and the mechanism behind this RTFM in transition metal doped ZnO system in bulk as well as thin films.
