Personal Statement
Goal: Transition to Private Sector into a role that draws upon chemical / physics engineering and mathematics experience, high competence in computing at the supercomputer scale / AI to make high impact in industrial and business settings.
Background
I am a chemical engineer with extensive experience in physics & high-performance computing focused on advancing organic optoelectronics - especially OLED device physics, light-extraction, and display-system performance - as well as molecular dynamics of polyalkanes, polyether & polysilicone materials in mixed solvents (water and one of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol).
I enjoy collaborating at the intersection of chemistry, physics, engineering, materials, electromagnetics, and computational science areas — and I bring an IP-savvy lens to identifying what is truly novel and scalable.
Looking ahead, my goals are to use insights from first principles to guide designs in solving engineering problems using analytics, theory, and modelling, combined with high-performance computing systems, to make an impact in the chemical industrial space using intellectual property knowledge gained as a long-time Patent Examiner in the United States.
Ideally, I would like to assist in delivering the next generation of high-efficiency, high-quality OLED lighting and display solutions by combining disciplined modeling (from geometrical optics to EM simulations) with materials innovation and manufacturable stack designs.
However, at this time, I am looking for my next opportunity to make a significant impact and I understand that might come from an unexpected and unpredicted opportunity that I cannot anticipate.
Transferable skills to from Civil Service / Government Environment
Leader – Helped other Examiners within the Art Unit (AU) and outside the AU to work on improving knowledge and competencies of best examining practices.
Planning – I use Office / Outlook / Teams best practices to schedule and keep track of time and activities. Correctly and accurately record time and attendance in WebTA.
Teacher – Taught others how to use restriction Form Paragraphs (FPs) from AUs that don’t typically do Election / Restrictions.
Team Builder – Work in my art unit on Quality Enhancement Meeting (QEM) activities and group problem-solving to achieve efficiency in examination practices.
Customer Service – Dealing with non-government employees / Attorneys / Applicant’s representatives to prosecute patent applications in the Chemical and Biological areas.
