Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Cochrane is a research-focused engineer with 12 years of experience in nanoscience and microsystems, currently developing predictive models and visualization tools for opto-lithographic and nano-imprint fabrication at the University of New Mexico. With a multidisciplinary BS in mechanical and electrical engineering and ongoing PhD work, he bridges hands-on lab practice and computational process optimization to improve manufacturability of nano- and micro-scale features. His background ranges from published REU research on enzymatic catalyst patterning to supervising shop safety and leading student design projects, reflecting both experimental rigor and practical fabrication expertise. Earlier years as a commercial fisherman and restaurant lead honed his leadership, resilience, and independent problem-solving—traits he now applies to translating research into scalable manufacturing insights.
