Summary
Evan Davis is an EUV systems scientist with 12 years of experience bridging experimental plasma physics and precision diagnostics, currently applying a PhD-trained background to diagnose laser-produced tin plasmas for EUV photolithography at ASML. He spent eight years designing, installing, and operating high-bandwidth interferometry and phase-contrast imaging systems on fusion experiments, turning complex optical hardware and turbulent plasma signals into robust, quantitative measurements. Comfortable in both hands-on lab engineering and data-driven analysis, he developed version-controlled Python toolkits for interferometer and PCI data and contributed to funded DOE proposals. Evan’s work uniquely combines fusion turbulence expertise with practical experience in tabletop and facility-scale optical systems, making him adept at translating fundamental measurements into industrial EUV process insights. Based in San Diego, he brings international collaboration experience from a stint at Wendelstein 7-X and a track record of building reproducible experimental software and instrumentation.
