Led the Silicon Valley team of the Institute of Data Science and Technologies.

• Managed a global team of engineering and marketing functions (US, China, and the Netherlands).• Spearheaded the ASML-Brion integration effort. Interfaced with product marketing, field marketing, engineering, project management, finance, and sales teams at ASML.• Grew a new product line from zero to > US$ 10 million annual bookings. Responsibilities included product definition, development, roadmap, business plan, resource planning, technology innovations, and customer engagements.

• Led the development of lithography modeling and simulation capabilities, which formed the bedrock of all Brion products.

• One of the architects of the award-winning Tachyon lithography simulation platform and product family. One of the key contributors to Brion’s technology and intellectual property.

• Oversaw the design and implementation of embedded control software for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers used for optical telecommunications. Negotiated and defined product specifications with customers. Managed the software team and related projects, and implemented software development and release processes.

• Responsible for the overall software integration for the TeraScan series DUV inspection system.• Led the design and implementation of the Defect Dispositioning software system, for real-time storage, retrieval, and graphical display of photomask defects. Made use of and integrated various software technologies, such as Java, Tcl/Tk, CORBA, C/C++, and relational database.• Designed and implemented image processing algorithms for photomask inspection in the following areas: run-time calibration, total plate quality inspection, phase-shift mask inspection, and automatic defect classification. Work encompassed the algorithm for 300 series including i-line, and 500 series systems, which is a key enabler of photomask inspection technology.
