Daniela White's Problem Solving Experience:
- - I synthesized and formulated polymer-silica hybrid coatings, product used currently by PPG under CeramiClear name.
- I developed several products used in chemical-mechanical planarization for copper, ruthenium and dielectrics polishing.
- I designed, ran the experiments and generated 10 peer-reviewed reports in 5 years at CMC on mechanistic studies and structure-properties relationships on multiple and complex interactions between nanoparticles and additives in slurries for chemical-mechanical planarization.
