Research Engineer at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2023-01 – Present)

• Utilize Design of Experiments (DOE) to develop and optimize periodic dielectric nanophotonic structures using simulation models like (FDTD, RCWA) and analyzing the interaction of Electromagnetic field with these structures to maximize electric field amplitude for electron acceleration performance.
• Develop, Design, and fabricate a complex two-dimensional quantum devices and nano photonics devices on a chip using nano/micro fabrication techniques using e-beam/laser writer lithography, wet/dry etch, CVD, e-gun/thermal evaporation deposition.
• Characterize, and validate process performance utilizing advanced imaging and optical metrology, including ellipsometry, profilometry, optical microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microcopy (SEM).
• Hands-on of cryogenic dilution systems and RF circuits for quantum transport measurements at low Temperatures.
• Hands-on of high energy lasers (light conversion), calibrate, and characterize lasers performance.

Practical Process Engineer at Intel (2012-01 – 2014-12)

• Managed high-precision lithography and etch machinery, utilizing Statistical Process Control (SPC) to maintain system integrity and meet strict operational specifications.
• Utilized SEM and ellipsometry for precise material analysis, imaging performance characterization, and thin-film thickness validation.
