Principal Scientist
As Principal Scientist at Wyatt Technology Corp., Dr. Some currently investigates techniques for characterization of macromolecular interactions, developing both hardware and software for new instruments and applications. His prior record of experimental research and applied R&D encompasses semiconductor diode lasers, photoluminescence spectroscopy of semiconductors, ultrafast THz spectroscopy, ultrafast laser amplifiers, laser-coupled scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy, and laser scattering for defect detection on patterned semiconductor wafers. His publication list includes:
- 11 patents in the field of laser-based wafer inspection
- 3 patents and applications in the field of macromolecular interactions
- 7 peer-reviewed scientific publications
- A book chapter “Characterization of protein-protein interactions via static and dynamic light scattering”
- An entry on composition-gradient multi-angle light scattering in the Encyclopedia of Biophysics
Dr. Some obtained his B.Sc. from the Israel Institute of Technology, and his Ph.D. from Brown University, both in physics. Prior to obtaining his doctoral degree, he served as an officer of the Israel Defense Forces in the role of test and evaluation engineer. He held post-doctoral positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Weizmann Institute of Science. As a Member of Technical Staff at Applied Materials' Process Diagnostics and Control Division, Dr. Some conducted experimental work and numerical simulations towards the development of laser scattering for patterned wafer defect detection, contributing key elements of PDC's highly successful wafer inspection tools.
