Alex Avekians

Alex Avekians has a diverse work experience in the field of engineering and research.

From 2020, Alex worked at R&D Altanova as a Senior Process Engineer, where they introduced a three additive Copper electroplating chemistry for faster via-filling and achieved a lower dimple profile. They also worked with chemical vendors to troubleshoot various issues related to bonding enhancement chemistry and SAP applications.

Prior to that, from 2015 to 2020, Alex was a Research and Development Engineer at CompoSecure, where their work focused on introducing new processes and materials for manufacturing metal credit cards. They led a joint development project for replacing an existing scratch-resistance clear coating and developed processes for cutting laminated materials using a CO2 laser machine.

Before CompoSecure, Alex worked at IBM as a Semiconductor Process Engineer from 2011 to 2015. They were involved in the development of new microprocessors and conducted research on interconnect reliability. Their work included fabricating thin films for microelectronic devices and evaluating additives incorporation through various measurements.

In 2011, Alex had an internship at TE Connectivity as an Electroplating Engineer, where they researched an electroplating process for a future reel-to-reel electroplating line. They implemented various processes and conducted characterization using different techniques.

Alex's work experience began at Northeastern University, where they worked as a Research Assistant at the Electrochemical Laboratory from 2008 to 2010. Their research focused on PtFeCo multilayer catalysis for fuel cell applications and investigated electrodeposition of multicomponent alloys.

Overall, Alex Avekians has a strong background in process engineering, research and development, and electroplating. They have experience in introducing new technologies, troubleshooting issues, and working with various materials and processes.
