Felix Wechsler
Felix Wechsler is a PhD student at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology and the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. Before that, Felix obtained Bachelor degrees in physics and informatics where he worked on Light Field Microscopy and Schlieren Imaging.
In his master thesis, he developed a novel kaleidoscopic microscope, the Kaleidomicroscope.
His recent work is implemented in Julia Lang and he is maintainer of several microscopy related packages written in Julia Lang.

Conventional Ptychography is a lensless imaging technique which captures a sequence of light diffraction patterns to solve the optical phase problem. The resulting datasets are large and can typically not directly be solved. Instead, iterative reconstruction algorithms with low runtime memory footprint are employed.
Here we present PtyLab.jl, a software for ptychographic data analysis and demonstrate how a functional programming style in Julia allows for performant iterative algorithms.
Various ways of calculating three-dimensional optical point spread functions (PSFs) are presented. The methods account for the vector nature of the optical field as well as phase aberrations. Quantitative comparisons in terms of speed and accuracy will be presented.
