果冻传媒

Martijn Anthonissen works in the at 果冻传媒. The basic goal in illumination optics is to design an optical system that turns a given light source and into a desired light output. Typical applications are LED lighting, road lights and car headlights.

The industry standard is to design an optical system, use ray tracing to test it, change the design, ray trace and so on. This is quite a slow process.

The Computational illumination Optics group develops inverse methods that directly compute the required optical system. These methods are based on advanced physical models describing the interaction of light with lenses and reflectors. The ultimate goal is to develop advanced simulation tools that can be used for virtual prototyping.

Before joining the optics group, Martijn has worked on many applications, such as combustion, glass sintering, transport of tracers in anisotropic turbulence, film cooling, laser surface remelting, wafer positioning, lens deformation, cathodic protection for ships and wind-farm aerodynamics.

Theory and experiments have driven science forward for centuries. The explosion of computational power gives us a new way to increase our knowledge through numerical simulations. This is an exciting era of scientific computing!
