Summary of Expertise:

Listed with other top experts in: 

Expert has spent over 20 years developing mathematical algorithms, techniques and approaches to solve fundamental physics and engineering issues as well as model, analyse and/or design solutions to practical real world problems. He has a strong background in advanced mathematics, field theory, quantum field theory and all aspects of electromagnetic simulation. He is a expert in using Mathematica(TM) to develop and test algorithms and to generate numerical solutions to particular problems. He has also done significant work on statistics and probability as applied to a wide range of engineering and data analysis problems as well as on the fundamental mathematics of probability itself.
 • 

applied mathematics

He has spent over 20 years developing algorithms for performing optical and electromagnetic modeling and analysis in all areas of optics including diffraction, polarized diffraction, coherent and partially coherent imaging, interferometry, aberrations, flare, statistical optics, scattering, guided waves, surface plasmons, fiber optics, laser beam propagation and quantum optics. He has used propagators and Greens functions, including Feynman path integrals to compute diffraction in interferometric systems, laser doppler systems and gradient index optics. He has written exact electromagnetic solvers based on various techniques such as RCWA and eigenmode expansions for computing the scattering and diffraction from structured materials such as layered gratings, semiconductor wafers and optical masks.
