"Remotely Scientific is an independent physics consultancy firm that specializes in instrumentation design and analysis for electron optical and quantum metrology applications."
This project, carried out at Delft University of Technology, enabled experiments in which the transverse wave front of a spread-out free electron is modulated in space. Instrumentation was developed for positioning MEMS manufactured lenses and topologically patterned electron mirrors and aligning the electron beam trajectory. Numerical methods were developed for predicting the effect of mirror topology on the phase modulation of the electron wave packet.
The Smith-Purcell effect describes how electron-photon interactions can be mediated by (structured) surfaces on matter. In this project, we studied the properties of photon emission that results from passing an electron beam along a (metal coated) structured nano surface. My primary activities in this project involved experimental design and electrical and mechanical instrumentation development.
Energy management is a crucial part of instrumentation design for space applications. In this project, we developed a flat-panel gas-gap heat switch that is actuated with hydrogen gas. A sorption material enables the switching between a thermally conductive and insulating state. My contribution to this project was at the earliest stage, where we successfully formulated a thermal parameter model of the heat switch and demonstrated the functionalities of a prototype design that was designed using additive manufacturing.
I specialize in experimental design for electron optics application, with an emphasis on applications in scanning electron microscopy and (miniature) MEMS components. I provide optical designs that are tailored to specific experimental needs, and experimental methods for design validation.
Breaking down complicated physics into consumable numerically solvable problems is how I provide numerical analysis. Depending on the (size of the) problem at hand, a suitable analysis method or software package is chosen, and we can scale up to parallel and cloud-based computing if the need arises.
While I don't provide physical machining of parts, I take much joy from determining the functional requirements and outline for experimental instrumentation. This ranges from optical design of microscope columns to dedicated custom printed circuit board and firmware design for niche applications.
