💡 PhD Chemical Engineer | Process Optimization & Data Science Expert | DOE, Machine Learning & Manufacturing Analytics

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained Chemical Engineer and former Senior Process Engineer with expertise in thin film deposition, process optimization, and manufacturing analytics. I specialize in improving yield, reliability, and throughput through Design of Experiments (DOE), statistical modeling, and root cause analysis. At Lam Research, I led PECVD process improvements that outperformed competitors and defended multimillion-dollar accounts. Skilled in JMP, MATLAB, Python, and R, I deliver data-driven solutions, clear documentation, and evidence-based recommendations for both technical and business stakeholders. With a strong background in technical writing and communication, I have authored peer-reviewed journal publications, developed SOPs, and created dashboards, reports, and client presentations that translate complex findings into actionable insights.
