Experience

  1. Design (Optical) Engineer

    ASML

    Responsibilities include:

    • Analyzed test data for optics modules, supporting strategic production decisions for the new lithography system.
    • Optimized lens algorithms and assessed their impact on overall system performance.
    • Worked closely with engineering, factory, and customer support teams to ensure technical alignment.

  2. Industrialisation Engineer

    ASML

    Responsibilities include:

    • Improved system uptime by independently troubleshooting issues and coordinating fixes with cross-functional teams.
    • Organized training sessions and workshops to enhance serviceability and knowledge transfer internally.
    • Participated in factory internships to understand equipment logs and streamline cross-sector communication during escalations.

Optical system design
Coursera ∙ July 2021
This is baseline course in optical system design (paraxial) for to model, analyze, and optimize first-order lens designs using Zemax. This complements well with my PhD projects on physical optics Gaussian and Fourier transform beam propagation modeling (FT_BPM repo on my github page).

Professional data science course in R
edx ∙ June 2019
I completed Harvard’s Professional Certificate in Data Science, where I learned to analyze data, build models, and apply statistical methods through real-world case studies. For the capstone project, I tackled the NYC housing complaints problem, using data-driven insights to identify and address key urban issues.
