About EIKONAL.WORKS
EIKONAL.WORKS is an independent Hungarian technology venture developing next-generation optical design and simulation software for engineering, R&D, and high-performance scientific applications.
Viktor Zsellér
Founder & Owner
Viktor is a recognized figure in the European lighting and photometry community, frequently speaking
at lighting fairs, industry events, and technical conferences.
He created the
Meerkatblog
online platform (a hobby project) — a collection of widely used engineering tools for lighting professionals.
With 4 granted + 7 pending patents and experience across multiple industries — lighting, electronics component distribution,
mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography — Viktor brings a unique combination of innovation,
scientific rigor, and practical engineering.
Outside of engineering, Viktor is a father of two, an avid hiker, and a professional mountain biker.
The Story Is Just Beginning
A Passion Project Begins
EIKONAL.WORKS starts as a solo engineering project — developed mostly in the early dawn hours before work, with dedication, persistence, and the unconditional, dedicated support of two loud toddlers.
2023
Early Release Program
The first functional version of EIKONAL.WORKS is released for evaluation by three major enterprises in the lighting industry, marking the smooth transition from hobby project to professional-grade software.
2026
Source & Surface Characterization
Development of an open-source optical source and surface characterization ecosystem, enabling a comprehensive, standardized database for high-precision simulations.
2027
Multiphysics Expansion
EIKONAL.WORKS evolves into a multiphysics platform by integrating OpenFOAM-based CFD and a proprietary particle-tracing engine with electromagnetic interaction for advanced scientific use cases.
2028
Application-Specific Solutions
With a mature simulation engine, development shifts toward specialized, fine-tuned editions of EIKONAL.WORKS for aerospace, medical optics, sensing, photonics, and custom industrial applications.
