# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Hungary in 1900, Dennis Gabor arrived at the insight that would define his career: a way to record not just brightness but the full wavefront of light, preserving dimension itself. The work on holography came decades before lasers made it practical, a theory waiting for its technology. He became a British citizen in 1946 and spent most of his working years in England, where the Nobel committee found him in 1971. He died in 1979, eight years after Stockholm confirmed what the physics already knew.
