Enabling cleanliness verification in compliance with ISO 14644 and beyond for the semiconductor industry. More than ten years of experience with developing hypotheses and test plans as well as conducting experimental work for validation (“hands-on”). More than five years of working experience in multidisciplinary and international teams. Distinct power of observation and strong analytical skills. Collaborative, persistent and focused on quality and reproducibility of results. Aiming for constant improvement and process optimization. Experienced with reporting and presenting progress in written and oral form as well as with supervising interns and supporting junior employees.
New product introduction (NPI) for Particles per Reticle Pass (PRP) applications: EUV system qualification and industrialization. Collaboration between D&E, factory and customer support.
Optimizing cleaning and cleanliness verification applied in the supply chain of EUV scanner parts. Coordination of a X-sector team to reduce costs while maintaining / improving quality.
Enabling ASML to re-use field return parts of EUV scanners with strict cleanliness requirements: From feasibility studies including collaborations with cleaning service providers to industrialized re-use processes (including documentation).
• Literature research, design, synthesis (e.g. using microwave reactor), purification (MPLC, GPC) and characterization (FT-IR, NMR, LC-MS, TGA, DSC, SAXS, UV/Vis, CD and fluorescence spectroscopy) of novel functional dyes for more sustainable energy production (electrochemical water splitting) and semiconductors for surface coating/ patterning (drop casting and spin coating; characterization by optical, electron and atomic force microscopy) • Project management in an international and multidisciplinary working environment: Collaborations with external partners in Belgium, Germany and Israel for advanced surface characterization (STM) and spin-selective electron transport (mc-AFM). • Documentation and communication via biweekly progress presentations, annual colloquia, (inter-)national conferences, quarterly reports and research papers. • Supervision of students, ranging from graduation projects for bachelor and master students to giving high school students insights into the work of a chemical researcher.
As a student research assistant, I was involved in research projects addressing the following topics: • Stereolithography in hydrogels (department of physical chemistry) • Synthesis and characterization of halogen-free flame retardants (department of inorganic chemistry) • Novel materials for organic electronics that self-assemble into nano-objects (department of macromolecular chemistry)
Conducting research towards novel concepts for organic light emitting diodes.
