Bin Ma and Dustin Moore, students of Rochester University, have won the 2011 Robert S Hilbert Memorial Optical Design Competition on Tuesday, August 23

Ma is a PhD candidate. He was recognized for his work on aspheric lens design by taking CODE V in his paper which titled as “Design of Lithographic Lenses with Slope Constrained Q-Polynomials”, said Synopsys, the sponsor of this competition, who is EDA and IP vendor. According to him, applications of Ma’s project include ultra-precise projector lenses used to make ICs.

Moore, also a PhD student at the University of Rochester, was recognized for his work on a panoramic imaging system by adopting CODE V in his paper titled, "A High Resolution Four-Pi Steradian Panoramic Video System," Synopsys said. The goal of Moore’s design is to improve the quality of systems and offer 360-degree, interactive video at the same time, according to the firm.

The Robert S Hilbert Memorial Optical Design Competition was started in 2000 by Optical Research Associates (ORA), now the Optical Solutions Group at Synopsys. The competition is named in honor of ORA’s former president and CEO, Robert S Hilbert. The annual competition is open to students in North America working toward a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD degree who uses the ORA’s CODE V or LightTools software to perform optical design and engineering research. Awards are granted to students who have submitted papers that demonstrate optical design excellence.
