Professional experience
Nanofabrication Engineer
NS Nanotech — Montréal, Québec
Worked on development and integration of complex semiconductor fabrication processes for GaN-based microLED devices using nanowire-based device architectures.
My work spanned electron-beam lithography, photolithography, direct-write lithography, DUV-patterned sample processing, plasma etching, thin-film deposition, dielectric passivation, metallization, thermal processing, metrology, process troubleshooting, and device integration.
I contributed to the development and optimization of fabrication steps, with a focus on reproducibility, process-window improvement, yield, failure analysis, and integration across multiple cleanroom facilities.

Research
Superconductivity and quantum transport
My doctoral research combined materials growth, nanofabrication, and cryogenic transport to investigate unconventional superconductivity in electron-doped cuprates.
I grew epitaxial superconducting oxide thin films using pulsed laser deposition, fabricated nanoscale devices using lithography and pattern-transfer techniques, and characterized their electronic response at low temperature and under magnetic field.
My research has included Little-Parks experiments, Hall-effect measurements, magnetoresistance, nonlinear transport analysis, and studies across different carrier concentrations.
