Joseph Rosen

Joseph Rosen, of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev was recognized for achievements in digital holography and coherence optics. Rosen is a leading researcher in holography, diffractive optics, statistical optics, and coherent optical metrology. Among many breakthroughs in these fields, he initiated research on optical 3-D spatial correlation and introduced computer-generated holography for controlling the diffraction and propagation properties of optical beams and for controlling the 3-D coherence function of optical waves.
