   Thermal Upratebility Assessment• Researching thermal uprateability assessment of electronic components for use beyond manufacturer specification. Creating a methodology for the selection of appropriate electronic components that have the potential to work outside the manufacturer’s specifications.• Conducted an analysis of 141 datasheets to establish best practices, inconsistencies and incompleteness in providing thermal information.• Created a methodology to establish thermal ratings when missing in the datasheets.• Acquired knowledge on uprating and qualification industry standards, IEC 6013, AECQ-100, and JESD47.Determining Critical Failure Mechanisms in Epoxies• Conducted failure modes mechanisms and effect analysis (FMMEA) on optical fiber assembly and various epoxies used in an assembly through a comprehensive literature review. • Identified the top three critical failure mechanisms based on the risk priority number (RPN) analysis.• Developed test plans for each critical failure mechanism, considering sample availability and utilizing representative coupons for testing.• Conducted temperature exposure test on the optical fiber assembly and performed failure analysis to identify the root cause and critical failure mechanisms using an optical microscope and ESEM.
