I’m a physicist with 10+ years of experience developing optical systems, mostly in illumination and beam shaping. I like improving optical performance through simulation, algorithm work, and plenty of hands-on problem solving.
Design and optimize lenses and optical components for non-imaging applications. Develop data-driven algorithms to improve lighting performance of lighting components and lighting designs. Provide expertise in lighting projects and luminaire development.
Coordinated between customers, sales, product development, and production. Managed project timelines, budgets, and deliverables.
Evaluated markets to identify new business opportunities in the optics industry. Managed key accounts and built strong relationships with stakeholders. Translated market requirements into technical opportunities, leading to the development of new products.
Developed lenses and optical components glass for various non-imaging optical applications, mostly in glass. Collaborated with production teams to ensure feasibility and quality of designs. Conducted photometric measurements and data analysis to validate optical designs. Developed a novel method to produce glass lenses as part of a development team, decreasing production costs.
Developed innovative optical systems for indoor and outdoor lighting applications. Contributed to the development of standard and custom products, expanding the company's product portfolio. Utilized SolidWorks and proprietary ray tracing software for optical design and simulation.
Trapped small particles using laser light (optical tweezers) for advanced manipulation. Measured forces by analyzing scattered laser light on the back focal plane. Developed techniques in three-dimensional force measurement for biomedical applications.
Developed and supervised scientific workshops and camps to connect science with schools.
