Watnik
As branch head of the optical physics branch at the Naval Research Laboratory, USA, Abbie Watnik oversees a wide range of optics ideas and research tracks. But Watnik’s background is in digital holography, and she is specifically interested in controlling light. She and her team are currently exploring light’s interaction with turbulence and scattering, using twisted light or orbital angular momentum, structured light, lidar systems and more.
