Scientific Programmer at NIL Technology
Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHongfeng Ma is a scientific programmer with 11 years' experience combining optics, numerical simulation and machine learning to solve industrial photonics problems. Currently at NIL Technology he develops diffractive optical elements and metasurfaces for industrial applications, bringing research-grade simulation and optimization workflows into product-ready designs. His PhD and postdoctoral work focused on laser micro-/nano-processing and ML-enabled multiplexing, giving him deep domain expertise in laser-material interactions and data-driven design. A pragmatist who likes to "make everything differentiable," he specializes in turning physics models into differentiable pipelines for inverse design and optimization. Based in Copenhagen, he bridges academic rigor and industry delivery, often translating complex optical physics into code that scales. Colleagues note his unusual combination of hands-on numerical modeling and a taste for simplifying high-dimensional optical problems.
