He and his chair, the chair for Technology of Optical Systems TOS, work in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer-Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen, where he is also head of the department Data Science and Measurement Technology. His areas of research include optical systems, computational optics, EUV-technology, artificial intelligence in photonics, and digital photonic production. Prof. Holly received the diploma in mechanical engineering, the B. Sc. in physics and the M. Sc. in theoretical particle physics, as well as the Ph.D. degree (Dr. rer. nat.) from RWTH Aachen University. In 2017 he joined TRUMPF Photonics in Princeton, USA, where he worked on the development of high-power semiconductor lasers. In 2020, as Head of R&D Photonics he worked on optical systems and photonics integration for non-invasive glucose measurement devices at DiaMonTech AG in Berlin. In 2021 Prof. Holly became full-time professor at the RWTH Aachen University.
