Nanofabrication practitioner with over 15 years of experience in managing shared use research labs, involving all facility aspects, including IT systems and solutions, documentation, infrastructure, equipment, processes, and operations. Proven experience in managing demanding, cross-departmental projects and delivering successful outcomes. Long track record of innovative contributions to multidisciplinary research, spanning a wide range of themes, from fast transistors and monolithic integrated circuits to biosensors and microfluidics. Expertise in designing and implementing new cleanrooms and other laboratories, in building and managing effective teams, and in leading the delivery of cutting-edge technology services and training across several disciplines while advocating the process-centric approach in quality-controlled work environments, with value creation for the end-user as main goal.
I manage the Detector Microfabrication Facility cleanroom, a newly established superconductive quantum device foundry at Stanford's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Consultancy on setting up and using micro/nanofabrication cleanrooms, including infrastructure, tools, processes, operations and training. I am happy to advise/work with academia and industry clients during all project phases, collectively or individually, including: conception; tool selection; commissioning of tools and processes; health and safety; facility management; quality management; documentation; manager training, technical staff training. Having been both a demanding cleanroom user and a facility manager, with relevant work experience in Europe and North America, allows me to understand your organization's unique needs and offer tailored solutions of value.
I was in charge of the Nanofabrication Facilities in the Quantum Matter Institute (QMI) of UBC. QMI operates a cluster of cleanrooms that cater to the diverse research needs of faculty members from the Institute, across all of UBC, and from other universities. Several companies also use the cleanrooms for development and small-scale production work.
