About
Noah is a Process Engineer at the UCSB NanoFab. He earned his degree in Chemical Engineering from UCSB in 2023, where he distinguished himself with the top senior design project in his cohort. During his undergraduate studies in 2022, Noah was among the first interns at the UCSB NanoFab, marking his initial exposure to semiconductor engineering. This experience inspired him to accept a position as a Semiconductor Process Engineer at Lockheed Martin/Santa Barbara Focalplane in Goleta, where he contributed to the production of infrared focal plane arrays for military and space applications for approximately one year. Driven by the dynamic environment and opportunities at the UCSB NanoFab, Noah rejoined the facility in 2024.
Current Work
In his current role, Noah focuses on process development to support both the NanoFab as well as local companies. He is one of two process staff members directly involved with the CA DREAMS initiative, which includes leveraging analytics software to enhance SPC on laboratory tools. Noah also oversees and mentors undergraduate interns responsible for process calibrations while developing new ones himself to benefit lab users. He plans to concurrently pursue a Master’s degree in Materials Science at UCLA to deepen his expertise in the field.
