About

I’m a passionate and versatile MEMS engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on experience in microfabrication, cleanroom operations, and R&D innovation across BioMEMS, microfluidics, and optical MEMS domains. My journey includes impactful research on microbial fuel cells and microlens scanners, earning the British Columbia Industrial Innovation Scholarship and the Strategic Microelectronics Council of ITAC Industrial Collaboration Award. I’ve collaborated with fabs, research institutes, and equipment vendors to resolve microfabrication challenges, optimize wafer runs, and establish advanced dry-etch and deposition facilities. My technical toolkit includes photolithography, PDMS soft lithography, vibration analysis, and instrumentation setup—backed by a strong foundation in fluid dynamics, thermal systems, and biomedical imaging. I’m driven by curiosity, committed to innovation, and always eager to explore the fundamental principles behind microscale systems. Fluent in English and Cantonese, with working proficiency in Mandarin, I’m based in Hong Kong and open to global collaboration. 🛠️ TECHNICAL FOCUS & UP-SKILLING Actively training in advanced statistical methodologies via the SAS SPTIP pathway. Skilled in utilizing JMP for Design of Experiments (DoE) to analyse process variance, optimize recipes, and drive yield improvement in manufacturing environments.
