Plenary, Tutorial and Keynote Speakers
Vijayakumar Anand
Keynote: Historical Development of Coded Aperture Correlation Holography
Coded aperture correlation holography (COACH) was developed in 2016 by connecting two research areas: coded aperture imaging and incoherent digital holography. Here, we review the history and recent developments of COACH beyond the state of the art.
George Barbastathis
Keynote: Image or Far? Quantifying Complex Processes from Speckle in Space and Time
Numerous processes, from pharmaceutical manufacturing to blood perfusion in the retina, may be described as complex multi-phase flows. We discuss various strategies for using laser speckle to quantify them non-invasively and at high speed.
Giulio Cerullo
Keynote: Ultrafast Holographic Widefield Microscopy
Using multiplexed off-axis holography, we introduce a widefield all-optical lock-in camera, which decouples modulation frequency from frame rate, enabling shot-noise-limited widefield transient absorption imaging. We demonstrate applications to imaging ensembles of nanostructures and charge/spin diffusion.
Juergen Czarske
Keynote: Single-shot 3D Imaging Exploiting Holography and Physics-informed Neural Network Reconstruction
Minimally invasive fiber endoscopy is indispensable for various applications in biomedical imaging. Using a diffuser, the 3D information is holographically encoded, which is decoded by a neural network. Fluorescence imaging with keyhole access is enabled.
Bernard Kress
Plenary: How Vision Comfort Requirements and 3D Cues are Defining Next Generation Display Architectures for All-day-use Smart Glasses
Wide adoption of smart glasses has notably missed the consumer market over the past decade, even though enterprise, industry and defense markets resonated strongly with such early hardware offerings (Google Glass, HoloLens, Magic Leap, IVAS, etc.). This major miss was mainly due to the lack of strong use cases for smart glasses having strong differentiation from the ones developed for smart phones or watches. Today, with the advent of LLM and generative AI, smart glasses linked to high resolution cameras and gaze trackers might be able to provide unprecedented resonance with the consumer and thus for the first time propulse smart glasses as a potential commodity in the consumer electronics realm.
But such a potential market pull is also contingent on the availability of generic platforms over which such apps may be running, as with Vision OS, Android XR and Horizon OS.
The availability of a strong hardware ecosystem (display, imaging, sensing) is the last requirement and needs to address all three AR comfort pillars: wearable comfort, visual comfort and social comfort.
In this talk, we will focus specifically on visual comfort and how 3D information may be provided to the smart glass wearer in a visually comfortable way without impacting either wearable or social comfort.
Tatiana Latychevskaia
Tutorial: Iterative Methods in Digital Holography
This tutorial demonstrates how to simulate and reconstruct holograms and how to create an iterative routine from a single-run reconstruction routine. Cases of amplitude and phase-shifting objects, 3D objects and resolution enhancement will be discussed.
Aydogan Ozcan
Plenary: Diffractive Information Processing and Computational Imaging
I will discuss diffractive optical networks designed by deep learning to all-optically implement various complex functions as the input light diffracts through spatially-engineered passive surfaces.
Peter So
Keynote: Advances in Speckle Quantitative Phase Microscopy and Beyond

Cultural Tour of Paestum Archeological Park
Tuesday, 04 June 18:30 - 21:00
Paestum Archeological Park (Bus will take attendees)
Paestum was an important ancient Greek city located within the region known as Magna Graecia. The site is renowned for its three ancient Greek temples built in the Doric order, which date from approximately 550 to 450 BC and are remarkably well-preserved.
Attendees will have the opportunity to view the ancient Greek temples of Paestum and the surrounding archeological park at sunset with a guided historical tour. Please note: This tour will not include a tour within the temples themselves. Individuals will also have the opportunity to explore the area around the site, which includes bars, restaurants and unique shops.
A shuttle will transport attendees to the Paestum archaeological park after the end of the last technical session, and back to the hotels after the event.
The cost of the tour is not included in the meeting registration price. The price for the tour is USD 11/EUR 10, which can be paid by adding it to your registration. Space is limited to 50 attendees.

Sole di Mezzanotte, 5th Floor, Mec Paestum Hotel Restaurant
The Roof Garden “Sole di Mezzanotte” is a panoramic room located on the fifth floor at the Mec Paestum Hotel, with an incredible view of the sea and the island of Capri. Meeting attendees will be served traditional dishes of Cilento with accompanying traditional local music.
The Conference Banquet is free to attend for meeting registrants, but individuals must RSVP by editing their registration. Guest tickets are EUR 75 each. Transportation will be provided after the banquet to local hotels.
