Daniel Hardiman Email and Phone Number

- Responsible for driving projects from initial concept phase through final implementation as leader of the lithography analytics team- Developed intuitive, user-friendly R Shiny applications for the lithography department to reduce manual workload and facilitate more informed, efficient decision-making- Trained classification models in Python for large-scale image analysis, which saved hundreds of employee hours of shift time and decreased mean time to detect for quality events- Applied ad-hoc Python analysis techniques to identify signals in equipment-level data streams for driving improvements in yield- Built data pipelines using multiple data sources for supporting lithography operations- Boosted equipment uptime and streamlined maintenance workflow by implementing email system with sensor data summary- Designed, built, and maintained high-traffic Python-based applications using the Django framework- Engineered automatic inhibit system which eliminated the need for a manual “buddy check”, effectively adding one maintenance technician resource across all shifts

- Responsible for startup, qualification, and sustaining of TEL Lithius Pro/Pro-V photolithography coat/develop tracks as a tool owner in support of 14nm, 12nm, and 45nm technology requirements- Drove multimillion-dollar cost savings initiatives through frequency/volume reductions of non-process photochemical dispenses- Worked collaboratively with vendors and actively drove projects to improve tool performance and meet fab capacity needs- Engaged in continuous improvement programs and followed lean manufacturing practices to improve productivity and efficiency- Worked closely with shift teams to provide direction and training for engineers and technicians- Improved tool uptime through downtime pareto analysis and application of structured problem-solving methodologies- Reorganized preventative maintenance scheduling/frequency to achieve optimal balance of tool performance and uptime

- Worked on a variety of technical projects at a global specialty chemical company that is a leading manufacturer of high-performance fluids and tools for critical cleaning, coating and lubrication in the electronics industry- Assessed product viability through rigorous testing, calibration, and error studies, culminating in a formal recommendation presented to the executive leadership. The resulting process changes drove a material improvement in cost efficiency- Visited multiple key customers and performed targeted R&D testing related to their uses of the Company’s products- Performed critical development work on a new product with potential to generate $2-3 million in new annual revenue

- Performed research-intensive work on “Dendrite growth in rechargeable lithium metal batteries” to develop a better understanding of the parameters that affect lithium dendrite growth- Prepared solid polymer electrolyte films with varying physical characteristics and observed dendrite growth behavior- Autonomously designed and implemented experimental methodology to answer impactful research questsions
