What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my technical skills and contribute to innovative projects.

I am a dedicated Research Engineer with a strong background in materials science and engineering. My experience spans across various roles, including my recent position at Intel, where I processed data and debugged optical proximity correction issues, completing over 50 recipe requests and earning multiple recognitions from customers. My contributions to RET metrology operations and automation projects utilizing Machine Learning have further honed my analytical skills.

Previously, I worked as a Field Applications Engineer at ASML, where I developed Scanning Electron Microscopy inspection recipes that significantly improved process yield. My ability to collaborate with customers and optimize recipes has been a key aspect of my success. Additionally, my role as a Support Engineer at Physical Electronics allowed me to provide remote support for complex technical issues, enhancing my troubleshooting and documentation skills.
