Kevin Rolland-Thompson, group director of research and development in optics at Synopsys, Inc., and Visiting Scientist at the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, died on 19 November. He had been undergoing treatment for a brain tumor.
Highly respected for his work as well as his dedication to advancing the field and mentoring students and young professionals, Dr. Thompson’s most recent work had been primarily in advanced technology programs with DARPA. At the university, he worked with a group led by his wife, Professor Jannick Rolland-Thompson, in advancing nodal aberration theory (NAT), a complete aberration theory for imaging optical systems that applies to rotationally nonsymmetrical optical systems.
