Biography
My current research interests are in mechanisms underlying myopia (short sightedness); degeneration in the retina; bioengineering and molecular gene expression in mammalian sclera and retina; retinal processing of blur; and visual attention pathways. I have research expertise in ultrasound imaging, optical modelling, small animal brain and ocular surgery, immunohistochemistry, gene expression, pharmacology, measuring animal behaviour and psychophysics. My general research interests include other topics in Vision Science including: Development of Vision and Visual Perception Eye Movements and Visual Attention Optics and imaging Comparative vision in birds and mammals Advertising
