Samuel Li is a Senior Modeling Engineer based in San Jose with 11 years of hands-on experience and more than 15 years coding across front-end, back-end, embedded, and scientific Python stacks. He builds production-scale computational models for DUV and EUV photolithography at Samsung Semiconductor, and previously led transformer-based NLP pipelines and full-stack systems for remote-work analytics and real-estate automation. Trained as a physicist, he demonstrated cooling single molecules to their motional ground state and developed novel optical traps while pursuing a PhD at Princeton, blending deep experimental insight with software and modeling expertise. Equally comfortable machining hardware and training large models, he gravitates toward problems that force him to learn new domains end-to-end and often delivers solutions that bridge simulation, data science, and laboratory practice.
