“ASE Optics offers the opportunity to participate in a growing environment, where there is room to learn, evolve professionally, design new solutions and come up with innovative ideas.”

I am an astrophysicist, amateur astronomer and astrophotographer, and I love to understand how things work. I specialized in solid-state detectors for imaging, and learned computer programming along the way. I participated in the characterization, assembly and control of complex image sensors in both astronomy and medicine, as well as in academia and industry. I participated in the characterization, assembly and control of complex image sensors in both astronomy and medicine, as well as in academia and industry. I joined ASE Optics Europe as an imaging scientist and, because of the implications of imaging technologies for the products we develop, I soon moved into designing complete software systems for the automated control of a wide range of devices. Actualmente, soy Ingeniero de Software de Sistemas. ¿Qué te animó a trabajar en ASE Optics? Me gustó la posibilidad de participar en un entorno en crecimiento, donde hay espacio para aprender, evolucionar profesionalmente, diseñar nuevas soluciones y aportar ideas innovadoras. ¿Qué es lo que más valoras de trabajar en ASE Optics? La apertura hacia soluciones innovadoras, pero con una base sólida. I have always believed that the best products are those that provide sensible solutions to well-defined problems. On a human level, ASE Optics allows to maintain contact with all colleagues and to understand the needs of each one both on a general level and in their own area of professional specialization. We know how to adapt to every situation that comes our way, which generates a lot of mutual trust among the whole team and in oneself at the same time. It is very rewarding. And what has been one of the biggest challenges you have faced? Obviously, each project is unique, and presents its own challenges and specifications to which we must respond. I value everything I learn from each of them and what they bring to me professionally. In addition to continuing to gain experience in innovation that allows ASE Optics to grow and expand its know-how. A very significant example for me was learning quaternions and how to use them, and finally, implementing them in a software library to guide a robotic arm in real time. Describe ASE Optics in one sentence. A place where solutions become reality.
