**Meet the editor**

Dr. Izabela Naydenova received her MSc in applied optics from the University of Sofia in 1993 and PhD in physics from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1999. She worked as a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Technical University of Munich, (1999-2002). Dr Naydenova joined the Centre for Industrial and Engineering Op-

tics, Dublin Institute of Technology as an Arnold F. Graves postdoctoral research fellow in October 2002 and took up current position as a Lecturer in the School of Physics, Dublin Institute of Technology in September 2008. Her current research interests are in holographic recording materials, with a particular focus on photopolymer nanocomposites and self-processing photopolymers, and their applications in holographic sensing, holographic data storage, optical micro patterning and micromanipulation, the design and fabrication of diffractive optical devices by dye deposition lithography. Izabela Naydenova is the author and co-author of more than seventy full length articles and two book chapters on holography related topics.
