Dr. Maria Luisa Cruz earned a Master of Science and a Doctor of Science, both with a specialization in Optics, from the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics. In 2011, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Connecticut in the United States, in the Multidimensional Optical Sensing & Imaging Systems (MOSIS) laboratory.
Since 2015, he has been working at the National Autonomous University of Guadalajara ( Universidad Panamericana ) in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he has served as a Full Professor (Titular A) in the School of Engineering. He is also a member of the National System of Researchers, Level 1 (through the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology, and Innovation, SECIHTI).
In 2018, she was recognized as one of the top ten reviewers for the journal *Optical Engineering*, and in 2020, she was recognized as a distinguished reviewer for the journal *Opto-Electronic Advances* (OEA). She has served as a guest editor for the journals *Optical Engineering* and *Photonics*. She has published numerous articles in highly prestigious scientific journals. She has participated in various international conferences, including Digital Optics Technologies, Digital Holography and Three-Dimensional Imaging, Frontiers in Optics, and SPIE Optical Engineering and Applications, among others.
He serves as a regular reviewer for international journals such as *Applied Optics*, *Optical Engineering*, *Optics Express*, and *Optics Letters*, among others. His research interests include digital holographic microscopy, computer-generated holograms, computer vision, metrology, and educational video games. He is an active member of OPTICA (formerly the Optical Society of America) and SPIE—The International Society of Optics and Photonics.
