Doctoral Researcher (Device Physics & Nanofabrication)

  • Dissertation Year Fellowship (DYF) recipient (2025.11 – 2026.10), awarded based on outstanding research examination performance (top 5%).
  • Managed daily cleanroom and laboratory operations, including chemical inventory lifecycle (procurement, tracking, and hazardous waste disposal) and equipment maintenance protocols.
  • Developed and optimized fabrication processes for advanced 2D heterostructure devices.
  • End-to-End Quantum Device Fabrication: Designed and executed full-process cleanroom workflows for van der Waals heterostructure devices, utilizing EBL, RIE, and e-beam metal deposition to fabricate multi-terminal Hall-bar architectures.
  • Yield & Process Optimization: Engineered an improved bi-layer resist lift-off process, eliminating electrode edge burrs and residual fabrication defects to increase overall device yield to >85%.
  • Cryogenic Magneto-Transport Metrology: Commissioned automated cryogenic testing pipelines down to 100 mK and 14 T magnetic fields; extracted critical parameters including carrier mobility, interface state density, and electronic Coulomb interactions.
