About Baishali Barua

I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated chemical engineer with expertise in nanofabrication, lithography, multiple analytical techniques, data analysis, and project management. I work alongside a very talented multidisciplinary team of academics and researchers where we fabricate soft materials- emulsions, all-liquid microparticles, and surfaces for applications in sensing and optics. I am an experienced research assistant with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. I am skilled in Python, Matlab, Microsoft Excel, Engineering, Technical writing, and Public Speaking. I have learned to set aggressive yet realistic goals and accomplish those goals on time. I love to work in a collaborative, exciting, and supportive environment to find creative solutions to new challenges.Technical Skills:Lithography and Etching Techniques: Photolithography, Soft Lithography, Etching, Spin Coating, Mask AlignerMetrology and Characterization Tools: CD-SEM, Overlay Registration, Profilometry, EllipsometryThin Films Deposition and Analysis: Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
