I design the algorithms and models that define the future of semiconductor lithography. At ASML, I develop cutting-edge wafer height measurement algorithms for next-gen lithography machines, ensuring sub-nanometer precision to enable high-quality production and throughput—critical for AI chips and advanced packaging. Technical Leadership & Innovation: - Master’s Thesis (ASML EUV Illumination): Designed and implemented a hybrid physics- and data-driven model from scratch to predict the Unicom’s impact on illumination pupils, achieving up to 90% error reduction—bridging theory and application for next-gen lithography. - Internship (TNO): Researched rough surface scattering models, creating a decision-making framework for optics, semiconductor, and space applications, empowering teams to select optimal models for real-world challenges. - Current Role (ASML): Lead algorithm design and cross-functional collaborations to introduce advanced packaging capabilities, drive customer workshops, and champion feasibility studies that deliver double-digit % gains in speed and accuracy. Beyond Engineering: My journey reflects a commitment to excellence, from early roles in customer service and logistics to leading 3,000+ student introductions as PEIK Secretary, where I redesigned event models and set a club record of 770 membership applicants. As a competitive rower and coach, I embraced resilience, teamwork, and high-performance execution—qualities I bring to every technical and leadership challenge. Let’s Connect! I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of semiconductor technology and collaborating with professionals in lithography, optics, and advanced manufacturing.
