My oeuvre
I have made fundamental contributions to semiconductor fabrication, diagnostic devices, art restoration, space propulsion, and other fields.
Some of my research was published. Some of my efforts made headlines:
Art restoration
Ethically masking human-perceivable lacunae with AI-assisted digital inpainting and sub-100 micron laminate membranes.
Simple English: Restoring paintings with stickers.
Semiconductors
Next-gen electron projection lithography with 3d-printed, carbon nanotube-coated convex field emission sources.
Simple English: Making computers by shooting electrons from tiny needles.
Diagnostics
GeneTiger: a point-of-care nucleic acid testing device based on loop-mediated amplification.
Simple English: Less annoying medical tests.
Space Propulsion
Ion thruster neutralization via printed ink circuit traces.
Simple English: Plumbing for satellite engines.
Ionization
Zinc oxide nanowire-based electrospray for homogenous ionization of targets in mass spectrometry.
Simple English: Turning blood into tiny droplets and throwing them near a magnet.
