About Me

My name is Liang Li, and I'm based in Sunnyvale, CA, with a deep passion for technologies and science. I thrive at the intersection where equations meet execution, fascinated by everything from emerging semicondutor chips to groundbreaking quantum computing breaktrhoughs.

Since 2022, I've applied this passion as a research engineer at ASML. My journey here was paved with valuable research experiences, including roles as a Research Assistant at Fermilab, a Graduate Student Fellow at University of Pennsylvannia, and a Research Assistant at UC Davis.

Outside of my professional pursuits, you might find me practicing Ping-pong at local sport clubs, playing my guitar, or exploring museums in different cities.

My Projects

SEM Detector Design Improvement

Design Engineer

Designed and executed experiments to resolve detector charging issue, resulting in a 40% increase in throughput (TPT) for tools at TSMC.

Image Shift Algorithm

Design Engineer

Developed an algorithm to detect and quantify SEM image shift, which helps identify key factors affecting resolution. This led to a successful feasibility study for metrology improvement.

Experiment Pipeline Optimization

Graduate Student Fellow

Refined the experiment pipeline of quantum dots synthesis, reducing experiment time and improving outcome quality. The new pipeline was integrated as a project into the core course of Nanotechnology program.

Quid Pro Quo

Software Engineer

Developed a suite of user-friendly desktop applications to display and illustrate quantum optics experiments. This project won the California division of Qiskit Summer Jam Hackathon.
