I then spent more than a decade focused on micro- (MEMS) and nano-scale device design and fabrication, including the electrical machinery for the MIT Micro Gas Turbine Generator in my Ph.D. Following Ph.D., I developed and optimized the fabrication process for an interferometer in what was (is?) the smallest commercial NIR spectrometer. The interferometer comprises a tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer made of flip-chip bonded SOI movable- and fixed-mirror chips that include thick-film optics on an integrated curved mirror... In 2010, I migrated to biotechnology, leveraging my engineering and mentoring skills to teach while building an understanding of biological processes and equipment. In the Biological Engineering department at MIT I taught MIT 20.309, a hands-on laboratory-based course in precision biological instrumentation focusing on optics, electronics and signals and systems, and 20.345, a companion student-proposed project class. In 20.309 at the time, students built, from..
