About Me
Ph.D. Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), UC Berkeley, 2020
B.S. Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), UC Berkeley, 2014
Hi, I'm Jodi!
I enjoy innovating and developing devices, sensors, consumables, systems, and tools that unlock and advance discoveries and applications in technology, biotechnology and beyond.
My work and research experience include leading projects from R&D (ideation, proof-of-concept, design & layout, modeling & simulations, fabrication & prototyping, testing & experimentation) through implementation (characterization, validation, and hardware/software system integration).
I received my PhD degree in the Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) department at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). I was a graduate student researcher under Prof. Ming Wu. My primary research interests are optoelectronics and optofluidics. My research & dissertation was on Light-Actuated Digital Microfluidic (LADM) systems based on the principle of Optoelectrowetting (OEW). I invented a novel co-planar OEW device for droplet manipulation that could achieve fast droplet speeds.
During my graduate studies, I was an active member of OSA, SPIE, IEEE Photonics Society, and SWE as well as a part of Photobears (the UC Berkeley student chapter of OSA, SPIE, and IEEE Photonics Society), of which I acted as chair for the UC Berkeley IEEE Photonics Society branch. Photobears plans, coordinates, and participates in various community outreach and networking events.
As an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I was team lead for Human Powered Gym under Prof. Alice Agogino in the Mechanical Engineering department, where we retrofitted an elliptical exercise machine and a stationary bike to harvest energy. These machines along with an energy sustainability education campaign were launched in our campus gym, the Recreational Sports Facility (RSF). I also have experience as a live news broadcaster for KALX 90.7FM evening news.
I enjoy staying active through tennis, cycling, and golfing. In my leisure, I play the violin and piano.
