PhD candidate
Research interests
Steven Bos is a PhD student working under the supervision of Frans Snik. He focusses on integrating the vector Apodizing Phase Plate (vAPP) in the complete optical system. This includes focal-plane wavefront sensing, and other additional contrast enhancing techniques as polarimetry and spectroscopy. This will enable unambiguous characterization of exoplanet atmospheres and surfaces.
Steven is also interested in planet, star and disk formation, optics, photonics, metasurfaces and the rigorous modelling of optical systems.
