WORK HISTORY
Sr Director Consumables @Bionano
San Diego, CA, US
Consumables group leader developing cutting edge consumables for Optical Genome Mapping. Managing SOI MEMS and CMOS fab-lead optimization processes for OGM sensor to increase yields which saved $M annually. Experience with TSV Bosch process and CMOS (Spacer patterning, fine line width lithography), led optimization processes to increase yields which saved millions annually.Successfully developed and launched plastic consumable that increased performance from hours to weeks by identifying new materials to extend performance and reducing manufacturing cost by more than order of magnitude.
