Computational Illumination Optics at TU/e

Designing the optical systems of the future


Staff members

The Computational Illumination Optics group at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands is one of the few mathematics groups worldwide working on optical design problems from illumination optics.
The group has a healthy portfolio of PhD projects and close collaborations with industrial partners.
The group consists of two full positions at Eindhoven University of Technology and one part-time professor and is looking for two new team members. Depending on the experience of the candidates these positions can be for juniors or more experienced candidates. 

The first candidate should be an expert on numerical analysis, in particular numerical methods for PDEs; the candidate should have ample experience in sophisticated discretization and solution methods and be able to translate these in efficient simulation code. Moreover, the candidate should have experience with mathematical modelling in the physical sciences.

The second candidate should be an expert in modeling physical phenomena, e.g., including scattering in an optical design model. The candidate should be able to analyze these models and have a profound knowledge of (numerical) PDEs.
