Biography

I am devoted to optics and its applications, e.g. in medical science or in spectrometry, and the development and software-based simulation of optical devices. Recent projects include the development of a space telescope and a thermally tuned swept source and interferometer for optical coherence tomography (OCT) based tracking of vitreous floaters in the human eye. A considerable share of my activities is dedicated to lecturing physics at the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) in Biel/Bienne and in the Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) programme in Zurich.
