Martin Richardson

Martin Richardson gained the world’s first PhD in Display Holograms from The Royal College of Art in 1988. In 1999, he was awarded the Millennium Fellowship by the UK Millennium Government Commission and in 2009 became an Associate Member to the Royal Photographic Society when he was awarded Societies “Saxby” medal for his contributions to 3-D imaging. He is currently Professor of Modern Holography at De Montfort University, where he leads the Imaging and Displays Research Group in the Faculty of Technology.
