Biography
I seek to provide technical leadership in research and engineering related to optical engineering with a focus on systems pertaining to the eye and the human visual system. I also strive for excellence in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses pertaining to these fields. My current research interests include wavefront sensing, corneal topography, schematic eye modeling, visual performance analysis, lens design and optimization, aberration theory, optical system design and testing.
