Maxwell solvers

• OpenMaXwell OpenSource Maxwell solver package, containing latest version of MMP, FDTD, GUI, etc.
• MaX-1 older Maxwell solver package, published by John Wiley & Sons
• MMP original Multiple Multipole Programs (2D and 3D) for computational electromagnetics

Numerical optimizers

• OpenOpt Optimizers designed for OpenMaXwell and similar packages
• GGP Generalized Genetic Programming  for symbolic regrssion, time series prediction, etc.
• OPT Stochastic Optimization Tools ( includes Evolutionary Strategies, Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimizations, Simulated Annealing, Random Search, and Randomized Downhill Simplex)

Interesting web pages of former projects and group members

• CDM Composite Doped Metamaterials
• Hansueli Gerber (Java Applet Genetic Programming),
• Jürg Fröhlich (Optimizations),
• Esteban Moreno (Computational Optics applications),
• Jasmin Smajic (Photonic Crystal simulation, design, optimization)

Teaching

• Seminar in Electromagnetics
• Lectures
• Old PPS student projects and seminars (mostly in German, various Java Applets)
• Workshop 2013 on Numerical Methods for Optical Nano Structures

Jobs: Since I will retire in March 2017, I cannot take any new PhD students and I will not answer any related Emails!
