Biography

I am a scientist / engineer with a strong interest in applied and translational research.  My laboratory focuses on developing and translating optical correction strategies for eyes with poor visual quality (keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, Down syndrome) to the clinical environment and investigating the relationship between optical quality and visual performance.  I teach geometric optics to students in the optometry professional program, advanced optical topics to students in the physiological optics program at The University of Houston College of Optometry and mentor students seeking the M.S. and/or Ph.D. degrees
