MEL Talks - Judith Eisen

Judith Eisen: Holography: 3-D Laser Photography, Coherent Light and How a Laser Works. Judith Eisen became interested in holography science as she read a Rolling Stone article on the subject while living in Israel in the 1970s. After moving to Sonoma County in 1973, she taught physics at local private schools, holography workshops at Sonoma State University and art at schools in China. Eisen is an expert in the area of holography (3-D photography), making the first moving hologram of scanning electron microscope information in 1980 for the Smithsonian. She was made a fellow of the Royal Microscopal Society, London, for her work.

After retiring in 1993, she spent several years on an island near Thailand, painting, selling artwork and teaching yoga.
