Andreas specialises in Optical Engineering, and specifically in solving complex computational problems in ray and wave optical design. Throughout his 25-year career in optics, he has worked in both academia and industry, enjoying the process of making new ideas into functioning prototypes by combining physics, mathematics, engineering, and software.

During his career, Andreas has worked with a variety of optical instruments, including space-based sensors, ground-based telescopes, consumer products, medical devices, telecommunication systems, and data storage devices. Over the last 15 years, he worked extensively on the optical design of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) optics and diffractive optics. He regularly teaches courses on AR and VR at major international conferences, including Display Week and Photonics West, and provides consulting services to companies in the field. He has over 30 patents and over 20 peer-reviewed publications on head-mounted displays, data storage, holographic displays, and free-space optical communications.

He has been an Engineering Fellow at Robinson College since 2007. Before this role, he was a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at Wolfson College. He completed his postgraduate and undergraduate studies at Jesus College, where he earned his Master’s and PhD degrees in Engineering. Andreas is always open to new challenges and collaborations in optics, so please feel free to reach out to discuss any innovative optics ideas.
