Portfolio

Below you can find a non-exhaustive list of projects that I have worked on in my professional life.

Just Focus

An open source Python package for vector electromagnetic field calculations in the focus of high NA microscope objectives.

Skills Demonstrated

Numerical finite element methods
Open source software development and maintenance

Polarized LED Illuminator

A design for a LED illumination module emitting circularly polarized light for optogenetic control of protein states.

A Monte-Carlo ray trace of an LED through an aspheric collimator

In this project I modeled a LED illumination module using Monte Carlo ray tracing. The purpose was to ensure circularly polarized light of uniform irradiance over the entire volume of a protein solution.

Skills Demonstrated

Computer-aided ray tracing
Radiometric modeling of LEDs
Developing requirements from discussions with the end user
