Employment

• Senior Mechatronics Engineer, ASML, Wilton-CT (May 2022 - Present)
  • Working with system architects in a multi-discipline project team to develop concepts, perform engineering analysis, and build and test mechatronics prototypes.
  • Create budgets, set requirements and facilitate development of the module.
  • Act as a technical leader and contribute to breakdown of complex technical problems, analyze the problems from different angles and find multiple solutions to choose from.
  • Understand team goal, provide deliverable on time and take responsibility for the decisions.
  • Define, plan and priorities tasks and follow-up on results.
  • Communicate clear to technical team (and broad audience), about directions and expectations and follow up and feedback on results.
• Graduate Research Assistant, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla-MO (August 2017 - April 2022)
  • Designed and developed robotic manipulator for physical human robot interaction experiments; Selected required hardware and software for the robot; and, currently trying to implement various force, position, and velocity control strategies on the robot
  • Developed a “dynamics” simulator of a robotic manipulator using Lagrangian method; estimated the friction/damping of rotational joints, and verified its accuracy using the effective inertia estimate; developed a method to estimate the output impedance of a manipulator using the robotic simulator
  • Selected a data acquisition and analysis technique for experiments involving our robot
  • Designed and conducted a human-robot interaction experiment, including acquiring an IRB approval, recruiting and interacting with the participants, preparing and maintaining the experiment setup, and collecting and analyzing the data.
  • Currently, preparing the manuscripts in order to report outcomes of the experiments.
• Engineering Intern (Mechatronics), ASML, Wilton-CT (September 2021 - December 2021)
  • Worked on sub-systems involving robotics, mechatronics, and precision mechanics, which involved understanding the functional requirements and deriving specifications
