Autorentext

Rafael G. González-Acuña studied his PhD at the Tecnologico de Monterrey (2020). He has 38 optics papers in index journals. He has been awarded several prizes to mention a few Romulo Garza Science Awards, and the Recognition of Civic Merit, which is the highest distinction that the State Nuevo León grants. SPIE has awarded Rafael the 2019 Optical Design and Engineering Scholarship and is the co-author of three books: Analytical Lens Design, Stigmatic Optics, and Optical Path Theory. He is known for analytically solving a 2400-year-old unsolved problem, by obtaining the general equation of the stigmatic lens. He currently works as a senior lens designer for Huawei Technologies.
