Work Experience

I graduated recently (May 2025), and have decided to pursue a PhD. Throughout my university years I proactively looked for opportunities to conduct Solid-State Physics related research. Below I have summarized my most recent positions:

Research Intern • imec • March 2024 - September 2024
Department of Experimental Materials and Material Transfer

Project: Polymer residue cleaning from 2D materials
Supervisor: Dr. Jean-Francois de Marneffe

• Developed rigorous testing protocols to compare plasma etching and UV curing
• Proactively sought to expand cross-team collaborations to explore different approaches
• Created automation scripts for experiment description and book-keeping using JavaScript and Obsidian

MSc Research Intern • imec • April 2023 - September 2023
Department of Experimental Photolithography Materials

Project: EUV electronic processes in photoresists
Supervisors: Dr. Roberto Fallica, Prof. Stefano Nannarone

• Collaborated with chemists and physicists to understand and improve the in-house model
• Wrote extensive project and code documentation using Jekyll
• Contributed to advancing EUV lithography research

Research Intern • CNRS - C2N • Summer 2022
Laboratory for Nanotechnology and Nanosystems

Project: MEMS transducer for wireless power transfer in medical implants
Supervisor: Prof. Elie Lefeuvre

• Compared Terfenol-D and Galfenol materials in terms of device power efficiency
• Designed a novel Bayesian methodology to consolidate experimental findings
• Developed Python automation scripts for the experimental process
