Research Overview & Focus

The researcher has developed advanced tools across multiple disciplines—assistive technology in communication, ophthalmology, retinal imaging, education, and engineering—to enhance vision care, particularly for individuals with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Their work integrates smart devices, refraction testing, algorithms, and visual processing mechanisms to improve diagnostic accuracy and safety. By exploring how these technologies influence visual perception, the researcher aims to create effective solutions that aid in AMD management while advancing technology across diverse fields.
