Summary
Reinaldo Astudillo is a Lithography System Performance Engineer at ASML with a PhD in applied mathematics and 11 years of experience bridging numerical linear algebra research and semiconductor system design. He brings deep expertise in Krylov subspace methods, spectra/pseudospectra computation, and preconditioning, applied through production-ready code in C, C++, Matlab, and Python. His background spans academia (postdoc and PhD at TU Delft) and industry roles at ASML and YER, where he translated advanced algorithms into measurable system performance improvements. Based in Veldhoven, he combines rigorous theoretical insight with hands-on engineering, often optimizing large linear systems that underlie lithography throughput and accuracy. An uncommon strength is his teaching experience, which helps him communicate complex numerical concepts clearly to multidisciplinary teams.
