Seno Rekawa shown with highlighted quote: "Scientists come to me with novel research ideas and expect me to build instruments that no one else in the world has built. These can range from an ultra-high-precision extreme ultraviolet lithography system to a simple optical metrology tool for advanced microelectronic research."
