Kyoji Matsushima received his diploma and Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Osaka City University in Japan and subsequently joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Kansai University as a research assistant in 1990; he is currently a Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the same university. Throughout his career, Professor Matsushima has been an active researcher in the field of optics and lasers, and has been working in the area of computer-generated holograms for over two decades. In 2013, he won the Charles E. Ives Journal Award from the Journal of Electronic Imaging. His current research interests include 3D imaging based on computer holography and numerical simulations in wave optics.
