Izabela Naydenova is a Bulgarian researcher in holography, holographic materials and nanostructures, and holographic sensors. She is a professor at Technological University Dublin, where she is head of discipline for physics and clinical measurement science in the School of Physics, Clinical and Optometric Sciences, [1] and scientific director of the Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics. [2]
Naydenova studied applied optics at Sofia University, graduating in 1993. She completed a Ph.D. in physics through the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1999. [2]
After three years of postdoctoral research at the Technical University of Munich, she came to the Dublin Institute of Technology (now Technological University Dublin) for a second term of postdoctoral research, as an Arnold F. Graves fellow. She became a lecturer at the institute in 2008, a professor in 2017, and scientific director of the Centre for Industrial and Engineering Optics in 2021. [2]
Naydenova was named as a 2023 Optica Fellow, "for contributions to holographic materials, sensors, and modeling, and outstanding service to the community". [3]
