Biography

Martijn Anthonissen works in the Computational Illumination Optics group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His primary goal is the design of optical systems that transform a given light source into the desired light output. Typical applications include LED lighting, road lights, and car headlights. He develops inverse methods for the direct computation of required optical systems based on advanced physical models that describe the interaction of light with lenses and reflectors. His ultimate goal is to create advanced simulation tools for virtual prototyping. Before joining the optics group, Martijn's research focused on applications in numerical combustion, combustion-related processes, and optical designs. His extensive research experience includes collaborations with prestigious institutions such as Yale University, Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, and Japan Women’s University. Martijn teaches various mathematics courses and is involved in TU/e's teacher training program for mathematics as well as educational management for Industrial Applied Mathematics.
