Laser applications to art and painting restoration

|
My research has led to the introduction of the use of holography, lasers, ultrasonic imaging, digital image processing, and nuclear
magnetic resonance to art-conservation practice. I have applied these tools to the problems of divestment, analysis, interpretation,
and presentation associated with diverse art-conservation activities. I have also been instrumental in the founding of professional
art-conservation societies.
