Research fields:

● Light scattering of shaped beams by particles

● Ray theory of waves

● Optical metrology of particles

● Theoretical prediction of radiation pressure and torques

Theoretical research:

● Development of a novel Vectorial Compex Ray Model - an extension of geometrical optics to object of arbitrary shape by taking into account the wave effects: interference, divergence and diffraction;

● Theories of Light Scattering by Small Particles, specially in the scattering of shaped beam by a sphere, a spheroid or a cylindrer;

● Theoretical prediction of radiation pressure, torques exerted on a sphere or a spheroid by an arbitraily shaped laser beam.

Experimental research:

● Extinction spectrometry and applications to the measurement of wet steam, soot/aggregat particles ...

● Particle imaging and its applications in shadow Doppler velocimetry, Glaire Spot Phase Doppler Anemometry, numerical holography ...

● Refractometry of rainbow and the applications in the study of liquid jet instability, measurement of the optical or metal fiber, Phase Doppler, LDV ...
