“My interest in light and optics was triggered when I saw an exhibition on holography at an event on campus during my undergraduate days at university,” says Eriko Watanabe, an associate professor at the Department of Engineering Science, UEC Tokyo. “I was intrigued by the amazing three dimensional optical structures that could be produced by the interference of light waves. This fascination with holograms is the basis for my current research.”
