for his contributions to the field of spectroscopic ellipsometry with a strong focus on anisotropic three-dimensional
nanostructures called sculptured thin films. In his presentation "Spectroscopic Ellipsometry of Sculptured Thin Films made by
Glancing Angle Deposition" Daniel presented optical and magneto-optical properties of sculptured thin films from metals and metal alloys.
