About

I am an interdisciplinary Senior RD Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical Computer Engineering and a strong foundation in chemical and materials science. At Saras Micro Devices I focus on power-delivery solutions for AI chips tackling challenges in material stability solder-joint reliability and micro-device integration on-chip. I design and manage Design-of-Experiments to optimize advanced materials and processes lead weekly cross-functional meetings to drive data-based decisions and implement robust failure-analysis and process-improvement strategies. My expertise in conductive materialpolymer for capacitorssemiconductors reliability testing and advanced material characterization enables me to bridge material science with product performance delivering high-yield reflow-capable embedded capacitors for next-generation semiconductor packages. I thrive in roles that bridge technical expertise with team management delivering both high-quality solutions and strong business relationships.

Experience

Saras Micro device company

Senior R&D Engineer / June, 2025 — Present

Lead selection, development, and qualification of polymeric conductive and interfacial materials while defining coating and bonding processes across porous metallic and polymer substrates ensuring electrical, mechanical, and environmental reliability performance. Own development and qualification of coating and bonding processes on porous and metal substrates defining surface preparation, coating method (cast, coat, infiltrate), cure/dry profiles, and environmental stability criteria to ensure electrical, mechanical, and moisture-barrier performance. Control front-to-end R&D initiatives in advanced materials, thin film deposition, process optimization, and reliability engineering for next-generation AI-chip power-delivery packaging. Drive data-based engineering decisions through DOE design, statistical analysis, and cross-functional failure analysis partnering with suppliers, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve root causes and implement corrective actions. Conduct advanced materials characterization analysis (SEM/EDS, EIS, TMA, TGA, FTIR, XPS, Raman) to establish structure-property-performance relationships in metal-polymer systems.

Binghamton University

Graduate Research Assistant / September, 2021 — June, 2025

Fabricated an ingestible microbial fuel cell powered by Bacillus subtilis endospores featuring a super-hydrophilic PEDOT:PSS hydrogel anode and a newly synthesized oxygen-rich cathode for biocompatible, high-power energy harvesting. Developed a liquid-metal composite bioelectronic interface embedding dormant bacterial spores in eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) enabling seamless biotic-abiotic charge transfer and mechanical self-healing. Engineered a microfluidic artificial leaf device integrating photosynthetic cyanobacteria for sustainable light-driven power generation and CO2 reduction. Explored bio-synthesized tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticle coatings on B. subtilis spores improving catalytic activity and electrochemical stability in hybrid bioelectrodes. Synthesized high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors and flexible energy devices optimizing surface redox activity and ion transport. Designed an additive paper-based fabrication process combining mature papermaking techniques with conductive biopolymers to produce scalable, biodegradable microbial fuel cells.
