Program Manager for Diagnostics within CS Application and Business Support
• Lead customer support project supporting development and roll-out of a scanner application product, which was responsible for a quarter of the revenue of the Application Business Line. • Programmed and rolled out troubleshooting software for scanner related issues worldwide. • Provided support to customers solving their most challenging overlay issues, helping them to achieve higher yield and productivity. This included designing and executing experiments at customer facilities, data analysis, and reporting findings. • Developed and delivered training to ASML and customer engineers to train them in troubleshooting issues or to help introduction of new products.
• Led research project teams of five to ten people: conceptualizing, planning, and executing projects, and subsequently publishing results. • Wrote eight research proposals for instrument time and funding, which were accepted. • Demonstrated that the electron mobility in ferroelectrics is enhanced around the Curie temperature due to enhanced electronic screening. • Studied the behavior and properties of different phases of the multiferroic bismuth ferrite around its morphotropic phase boundary.
• Responsible for development of the research on thermoelectric materials (clean energy), to be carried out over a two year period. Developed advanced thermoelectric tools and materials in collaboration with research groups worldwide. • Obtained a $140,000 grant from the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) to perform research abroad. • Mentored two graduate and four undergraduate students and responsible for laser safety within the laboratory setting internal guidelines for safe operation. • Increased collaboration between Stanford University and UC Berkeley physics research groups.
Fundamental research on measuring properties on the nanoscale in thin oxide films. Continuation of the work at Stanford University.
• Interacted and collaborated with scientists from other universities regarding development of new and innovative methods to measure material properties of very thin films. • Provided support in the Stanford University Nano-characterization Laboratory (SNL) by training and mentoring university students to conduct experiments on XPS and AES equipment and performing maintenance and service on the equipment. • Supervised and coached two undergraduate students and four interns.
