Head-Up Display Applications of a Compound Micro-lens Array

The purpose of this project is to design a compact optical component that will be used in tandem with a display panel to use in Head-Up Display systems. The essence of the optical component design is the use of micro-lens arrays. Micro-lens arrays are thin, usually planar lenses composed of much smaller lens-lets with diameters usually in the order of 10 to 100 microns. Using micro-lens arrays, the optical system can be reduced to a couple of “sheets” of micro-lens arrays or less, allowing for compactness of the system. Designing with micro-lens arrays presents a set of challenges such as overcoming the minimum accommodation of the eye, and light interference between each lens-let on the micro-lens array. Over the course of the project, solutions to these challenges will be sought after. Also, the micro-lens will be computer modeled and simulated for validation of the design.

Fusion Genomics can play a key role in combating COVID-19 and future pandemics. The intern can play a key role in ensuring that the company succeeds and is financially sustainable. The advantages that the company’s products can provide in combatting pandemics are:
• The company’s test can provide early detection of novel pathogens and thus enable authorities to prevent outbreaks turning into pandemics.
• New tests do not need to be developed as the company’s test can detect multiple diseases and work on novel pathogens.
• The company’s test seldom gives false positive or false negative results.
• Genetic analysis, provided by the test, can be used to identify the virus spread and source.
Fusion Genomics is in the process of raising a Series-A to bring its product to the market. It is in discussions with a number of VCs and anticipates closing the funding in the first half of 2021. The Accounting and Finance Analyst intern
