Technical Director
I am the Technical Director of Cleanroom Operations at the Stem Cell Instrumentation Foundry, UC Merced, where I oversee lab operations, maintain instruments, and guide experimental design. My background spans research in light-matter interactions, semiconductor nanostructures, and GaN transistors. I am passionate about mentoring students, contributing to scientific outreach, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. As an advocate for hands-on learning, I aim to integrate research core facilities into education to enhance student experiences and prepare them for real-world challenges in STEM fields.
