Robin Aschan

Robin Aschan is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalto University, affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation and the Metrology Research Institute. Their work centers on precision optical measurement techniques for reflectance and transmittance characterization.

Research interests include:

• Optical Metrology
• Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF)
• Bidirectional Transmittance Distribution Function (BTDF)
• Radiative Transfer Modeling
• Spectral Reflectance and Transmittance Measurements
• Near Infrared Spectroscopy

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate expertise in BTDF/BRDF measurement protocols, SI-traceable validation methods, and multilateral facility comparisons. Research spans visible to near-infrared spectra with applications in aerospace, remote sensing, and climate monitoring systems.
