Eirini Bernikola received her degree in Physics from the Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in 2002, and subsequently obtained an MSc in Art Conservation Science from the same institution. Her research focused on the conservation science of cultural heritage. Since 2005, she has been an active member of the Applied Holography and Metrology Laboratory at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL), where her work has concentrated on the structural diagnosis of cultural heritage objects using holography and holographic interferometry.
