Dust particles can land on silicon wafers and affect the performance of computer chips. The team investigates where particles originate and develops long-term solutions to reduce particle contamination. In this internship, you will contribute to a better understanding of particle-surface interactions and help improve prediction models for particle transport and trapping.\nYour assignment\nIn this internship, you will support research on particle bouncing behavior to improve the understanding of particle-surface interactions. You will work with experimental measurement data and use your findings to validate and enhance existing physical models. The results of your work will contribute to more accurate predictions and support product improvements. Your main responsibilities will be:\nProcess and analyze large experimental datasets related to particle-surface interactions.\nIdentify particle-bouncing characteristics, trends, and relevant physical insights from measurement data.\nCompare experimental results with predictions from existing particle-bouncing models.\nInvestigate differences between measurements and simulations and propose model improvements.\nSupport experimental activities to validate models and explore interaction mechanisms.\nSummarize findings in clear reports and presentations.\nCollaborate with stakeholders to support technical discussions and decision-making.\nThis is a master's internship for minimum 4 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of March 2027.\nYour profile\nTo be suitable for the internship, you:\nAre pursuing a master’s degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, applied physics, or a related technical field.\nHave experience with Python for data processing, analysis, and visualization.\nAre analytical and enjoy translating experimental results into physical understanding.\nAre proactive and comfortable combining experimental work with modeling and simulation activities.\nHave strong communication skills in English and enjoy collaborating with diverse stakeholders.\nOther requirements you need to meet:\nYou are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship, and you are at least 18 years old at the start of the internship;\nIf you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement);\nYou attach your cover letter with a clear motivation on why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular;\nYou need to be located in the Netherlands to be perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your application shows the willingness to relocate.\nInclusion and diversity\nASML is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values and respects the importance of a diverse and inclusive workforce.
