MZA Associates Corp.
Engineering and software group producing MATLAB-based tools, libraries, and documentation for optical test systems, wave-optics simulation, and event-driven simulation frameworks. Work includes wavefront-sensor control and analysis software, MATLAB/C++ integration for running simulation components from MATLAB, a binary recorder file format and toolbox for MATLAB, and development and validation of wave-optics models and example system libraries. Documentation and tooling cover the visual editor, C++ system class APIs, run-set management, interpolation methods, and Monte Carlo seeding strategies.

Services
GUI software to acquire camera images, control illumination patterns, compute modal coefficients, visualize results, and save test data; delivered as MATLAB code with compiled extension interfaces.
Toolbox routines and workflows to compile C++ run-set code into MATLAB-callable binaries, create/manage component handles from MATLAB, run simulations to virtual time, and access outputs for analysis.
Binary recorder file format for efficient storage of time-history simulation outputs and a MATLAB toolbox to open, query, select, load, and pack recorded data for plotting and statistical analysis.
Simulation and validation studies comparing propagation and phase-screen models to reference codes and experiments; includes guidance on numerical choices, interpolation, filtering, and Monte Carlo statistics.
Development and customization of C++ system classes, visual-editor templates, run-set configurations, and example models for optical and control-system simulations; includes guidance on library/work-directory management and copy semantics.
