September 2011-June 2013: Senior optoelectronic devices engineer - Plasmionique Inc., working as outsource in micro-system group, Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC), Valcartier
Design, fabrication, and characterization of high speed dual band micro bolometer sensors.
- Design, fabrication, and characterization of 25 microns pitch micro bolometer sensors.
- Multilayer (fifteen layers including some smart materials such as Vanadium Oxide and YBCO) mask design and fabrication (deposition, photolithography, etching,..).
- Device packaging.
2007-2012: Working on my Ph. D research project in microphotonics laboratory and microfabrication laboratory (LMF) of the Engineering Physics Department - École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montréal, Canada.
Research Project: Integrating microphotonics integrated circuits (microPICs)-MEMS inertial sensors on Silicon-On-Insulator -design, fabrication and characterization.
The objective of the project is to use a double Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) platform to integrate microPICs-MEMS inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) on a single chip to provide a multifunction optical navigation microchip that can provide high performance attitude sensing for micro-sat platforms. This project was financially supported by Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
- Integrating two-axis optical-MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes on a single SOI microchip.
- Integrating micophotonics elements (optical waveguides, T-splitters,…) with MEMS actuators such as Comb drives on one single SOI microchip.
- Performing optical simulation for each micophotonics element using design software and CAD tools.
- Performing ElecroMechanical simulation (CoventorWare) for MEMS parts.
- Optical and mechanical characterization of the fabricated devices.
- Integrating the input of the microchip with optical fibers and the output with photodetectors.
- Packaging using wire bonding.
- Gained six years of experience in optical sensors designing, fabrication and testing.
- Acquired six years of experience in reporting, documentation, advising and making recommendation on a CSA scientific research project.
- Excellence through results-delivering through own work, releationships and responsibilities.
- Engagement-Working effectively with people, organizations, and partners (MPB Inc. and CSA).
2001 - 2007: Faculty member of physics department atAzad university, and research assistant at Thin Film Laboratory (TFL),department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) - University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.
- Taught courses in the field of Physics mainly optics and lasers.
- Doing research on silicon bulk micromachining.
1998 - 2001: Working on my master project in the clean room of TFL, ECE department - University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran
Research Project: Investigation of a novel UV-HNA method for <100> silicon micromachining.
