PlanOpSim on CIOE (China International Optoelectronic Exposition ) is world’s leading optoelectronic event. Read here what Lieven’s findings are.

Dr. Lieven Penninck interviewed on the past, present and future of PlanOpSim, Meta Optics by José Pozo, CTO Optica. Vision for metalens design & simulation.

” The introduction of more advanced AI offers great new opportunities. Dr. Penninck points to the necessity of identifying the right model for the right method. And while there is no miracle solution, AI can help design at record speed. A multi-step design process gives you the ability to run scenarios and create prototypes with AI – streamlining time constraints and costs in moving to mass production.  “
