Professorship

Looking back Stefan says: “I have had a marvelous time at ARCNL. Being part of such a unique institute from the onset, and seeing it grow in size and reputation, has been a great experience. The TU Delft now offers me a different, exciting new opportunity. There is such a wide variety of applied research and engineering in which imaging technology plays a role, and it will be really interesting to connect my research to different fields. Training new generations of scientists and engineers in optics will be important in the coming years, and I am looking forward to that part too. ARCNL has been a great place for me and my group, and I am very thankful to the institute and all the people for creating such a good atmosphere for doing science.”
