Young Alumni Event at ASML

Making high-tech companies sustainable

We are thrilled to invite you to a joined young alumni event at ASML on 29 February from 17:00 - 21:00 in Veldhoven. Join us for an unforgettable evening of networking and learning about the world of ASML.

ASML has publicly announced its target to be CO2 neutral by 2040 for their direct downstream impact. TU Delft alumnus Jeroen Melman will show their strategy to achieve this through technological innovation and industry-wide collaboration. You will also learn more during four pitches about Re-use at ASML, PFAS a challenge for Semicon?, Green ASML and how research at TU Delft contributes to a more sustainable future.

Following the pitches, enjoy a drink while continuing to network with fellow young TU Delft alumni. Grab your chance to take a look behind the scenes at ASML during an Experience Center visit.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to discover how we can make high-tech companies more sustainable. Register now to secure your spot at this exciting event!

Sustainability at ASML
The importance of sustainability is increasing everywhere, also in the semiconductor industry. Companies need to lower their environmental and societal impact and are defining sharper top-down targets for their operations and suppliers. ASML has publicly announced its target to be CO2 neutral by 2040 for our direct downstream impact. This talk will show the strategy to achieve this through technological innovation and industry-wide collaboration. Next to that, we will look at other aspects of sustainability at ASML, such as minimizing our waste streams and engaging with our communities.

Jules Tops

Senior director Re-use, ASML

TU Delft alumnus (1994)
Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering

Re-Use at ASML
Why is Re-use an important topic for ASML?
Share the Re-use roadmap, the plan for 2024, kpi’s and targets, a glance on the main activities, challenges and successes. Including some nice examples.
How are we organized cross sector and to external stakeholders like suppliers and customers?

Maarten ter Heerdt

Group Lead Materials, ASML

Applied Sciences

PFAS, a challenge for Semicon?
Sometimes, great innovations turn out to have a twist. What previously was considered a fantastic invention, can be considered poisonous by later generations. A few years ago, this happened with Chromium(VI); the story is repeating itself now, with PFAS. I'm going to discuss both and showcase the impact this has on materials innovation and our industry.

Merging insights from artificial and biological neural networks for neuromorphic edge intelligence
The development of efficient bio-inspired training algorithms and adaptive hardware is currently missing a clear framework. Should we start from the brain computational primitives and figure out how to apply them to real-world problems (bottom-up approach), or should we build on working AI solutions and fine-tune them to increase their biological plausibility (top-down approach)? In this talk, we will see why biological plausibility and hardware efficiency are often two sides of the same coin, and how neuroscience- and AI-driven insights can cross-feed each other toward low-cost on-device training.
