Chemistry | Materials Science internship: corrosion metric validation

Introduction

The Surface Science team at ASML in Veldhoven supports the reliability of critical machine components.
This Chemistry | Materials Science internship: corrosion metric validation contributes to understanding how materials perform in demanding environments.
You will help improve how corrosion behavior is measured, compared, and documented for future use.
This assignment combines data analysis with practical laboratory work.
This internship offers hands-on experience in a high-tech, collaborative research environment.

Your assignment

During this internship, you work on developing and validating corrosion performance metrics.
You combine analytical thinking with experimental work to support material selection decisions.
Your results help engineers compare materials using reliable and well-documented criteria.
Your main responsibilities will be:

• Analyze existing datasets to evaluate corrosion-related material performance

• Compare and validate two different corrosion metrics using statistical methods

• Design a practical test to assess the accuracy of corrosion metrics

• Execute laboratory tests and material characterizations

• Interpret experimental and analytical results in a structured way

• Document outcomes in clear reports usable by engineering teams

• Share insights and findings with stakeholders in a collaborative setting

This is a master internship for minimum 3 months, 5 days per week (3 days on-site).
The start date of this internship is as of September 2026 (flexible).
