A. Rates Soriano (Alfredo)

PhD Candidate

About Me

I am an experimental physicist and I am doing my Ph.D. candidate at the University of Twente, in the Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) Chair. My thesis is about light scattering, using the Wavefront Shaping technique and the Mutual Scattering effect. During my Ph.D. I learned that wavefront modulation has several applications. In particular, I studied applications in visible light communication, optical cloaking, and scattering characterization.My Ph.D. is part of the Free-Form Scattering Optics program, where we collaborate with groups from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Delft University of Technology (TUDelft), and with companies such as ASML, DEMCOM, Signify, Lumileds, and TNO.
