Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlia Rasskazov is a scientist-engineer with over a decade of experience translating rigorous electromagnetic theory into practical solutions across chip manufacturing, photovoltaics, biomedical optics, and photonics. He builds production-ready computational models and tools—most notably multilayer.app, a browser-based thin-film optics calculator used by researchers and engineers—to accelerate design and reduce experimental turnaround. His work spans high-performance Python simulations for wafer inspection, optoelectronic modeling for perovskite manufacturing, and open theoretical contributions to light scattering and metasurfaces. Ilia has co-advised PhD students at KTH, UIUC, and Colorado School of Mines, blending mentorship with hands-on R&D leadership. Based in the Bay Area, he now drives decentralized science initiatives at ResearchHub while continuing to operationalize optical modeling for industry-scale solar production. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic theoretician who prefers shipping usable tools that make advanced optics accessible and verifiable.
