You might think of ASML as a hardware company, but we actually have one of the world’s largest and most pioneering software communities. Our software teams have been developing machine learning tools for years to dramatically speed up the simulation and manufacturing process. The methodologies used to develop rigorous physical models and machine learning models are very similar. Both need lots of experimental results and data to shape the prediction, but machine learning saves a lot of time and effort, while improving accuracy and consistency. Our data scientists work with a unique combination of extreme complexity and very high-volume data. They need to utilize disparate data sources in novel ways and generate actionable insights. These insights can create new product offerings or improve the capabilities, performance and efficiency of existing products and services throughout the company.

There are currently ~8.1 billion people in the world and 4.6 billion of those people are active social media users. This potential reach, as well as the low overhead cost and versatility of social media, makes it a powerful tool for science communication, education, and networking. This informational session will address how to effectively use different social media platforms to communicate science, ways to make time for social, how to convert existing products into social media content, and how to measure the efficacy of social media efforts.

The presenter is Wendy Bohon, a geologist who studies earthquakes and works to improve the communication of science.
