Background

I received my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. In 1997, I joined Applied Micro Circuits Corporation in San Diego as a senior engineer where I developed high speed semiconductor devices. I became a consulting assistant professor in the mechanical engineering department at Stanford University in 2000 where I worked on self assembly of structures in polymers. In addition, I served as a lecturer for the Materials Science Program at the University of California, San Diego, where I taught courses on nanoscale characterization and nanofabrication. In 2001, I joined UCR as an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department. My current research interests include self-assembly of structures and nanofabrication in semiconductors and carbon nanotubes, fabrication of micro- and nano- electromechanical systems for biosensing applications and nanoscale imaging of biomaterials. I organized symposiums for the American Society for Mechanical Engineers-MMC 2001 Meeting in San Diego, CA; for the Fall 2001 Meeting of the Materials Research Society in Boston, MA. I was the lead organizer of the symposium on BioMEMS for the Spring 2003 Meeting of the Materials Research Society in San Francisco, CA. I am a member of the Materials Research Society, the Biomedical Engineering Society, and the American Society for Mechanical Engineers. My awards include a Ph.D. Fellowship by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
