Texas
o
Wrote verilog models to validate ATPG
library and debug gates levels for Montecito (90nm) and
Tukwila (70nm), Intel
Siverthorne and Intel Lincroft (45nm), and Intel Penwell (32-nm)
devices. Created, translated, and simulated Scan vector test programs for these
devices using ATPG/Tmax tools, and Perl program and Structural Based Silicon
Debug test system. Analyzed and resolved low test coverage issues. Developed and implemented flows to generate Embedded
Deterministic Test module, ATPG Stuck-at and AT-speed scan tests for these devices
using scan compression and ATPG tools.
o
Wrote
Perl script to automate setup, find new release netlists in central datebase
and execute DRC procedure to verify the overall connection of scan chain at
gate-level before result publishing; generated the DRC test report, and sent alert
design failed message and test report to design and test teams. This script is
a great help in reducing test time and tracking design mistakes or failure
problems.
o
Developed and executed an effective diagnostic
flow to identify scan test pattern failures using YieldAssist Testkompress
tool. This flow is helpful to run diagnostic tools for identifying ATPG
test failures quickly, and to enhance and reduce debug time significantly.

that Agilent 93000, 83000 and temperature controller equipment are functioning properly and
safely. Developed and documented a new procedure to evaluate and bring up
Agilent's first world-wide 12-inch TEL Prober (wafer test equipment), and
released it to production. Developed a test script to automate, analyze,
extract, calculate and plot characterization data from test result files using
Perl. This test script is designed to improve test time and reduce costs.

·
Gold nanoparticle RF research Associate (Voluntary) (08/2015 - present)
Chemistry and Electrical Engineering departments -CSU Fort Collins, CO
o
Research and study of the release of heat by
targeted gold nanoparticles exposed to RF fields. Design, and simulate coils
which will be used in some experiments on the heating of enzymes.
o
Build the coils by using exactly all
materials and values which are specified during my calculation and simulation
runs. Test these coils and collect all test data to prove that
the experiments work.
o
Clearly
document all test procedures and test results to maximize understanding by
potential audiences from varying backgrounds.
o Research and study
the physical properties of gold nanoparticles influence their RF thermal

Centrifuge Loading Human Factors on
Medical device project (8/2015- 5/2016)
Terumo BCT-Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO
o Successfully developed a working prototype
procedure that will assist users with centrifuge
leak issues for loading of a complex disposable tube
set onto a centrifuge of the Spectra Optia device. This procedure helped in eliminating
centrifuge leaks caused by human errors, which is very important because these
leaks cause a loss of blood components and terminate the patient's procedure
before it is completed. It decreases the effect on the patient and improves the quality of the
medical device.
o
Responsible for create
a grant chart to plan and schedule project using Excel, test plan, test scripts,
and test procedures without using the requirement and/or design documents;
Matlab and Labview codes to analyze and compare both image and audio
files. Negotiate price, purchase,
set-up, testing a microphone and software
to record audio files. Prepare tables and graphs of data analyses and present this
data to the research team in team meetings. Perform the
following software testing methods: unit, shake out, black box, white box, and
regression. Ensure that the project complies with the following
requirements: Quality System Regualtion FDA 21 CFR 820.30, FDA 21
CFR 820.40, and FDA 21 CFR 820.180”, which are required for design and document
controls, and records. Ensure that the project
complies the Medical Device Regulation ISO
9000 Quality Standardsand the ISO 9001 protocol for Design and Manufacturing.
o Installed a microphone and a camera inside the machine
to record the signal and take an image
after each loading procedure and then compare this signal and image with a
correct loading signal and image; if one audio or image file is not correctly
set, then an error message will display to alert users to correct the problem
before they continue.
