EDUCATION / TRAINING
2013- Research Associate 1
Mentor: Dr. Jason Porter
College of Optometry, University of Houston, Houston, TX USA
 Designed optical and mechanical layout for an out-of-plane adaptive optics
scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) using Zemax and Autodesk Inventor
 Responsible for alignment and maintenance of AOSLO
 Responsible for operating AOSLO to acquire high-resolution, in vivo images of
retinal and optic nerve head structure (e.g. photoreceptors, lamina cribrosa,
vasculature) in non-human primates and human subjects with normal and
diseased eyes
 Examined methods (using Mathematica) to optimize adaptive optics systems
to accommodate for high vergence demands presented when trying to image
subjects with moderate to large uncorrected refractive errors
 Further improved the newly designed AOSLO by investigating the use of other
imaging techniques (such as off-set pinhole, split detectors, liquid lens based
fixation target, etc.)
2012-2013 Senior Fellow

USA
 Designed optical and mechanical layout for an adaptive optics optical
coherence tomography (AO-OCT) system using Zemax and AutoCAD
 Aligned sample arm of AO-OCT system
 Responsible for alignment, maintenance and operation of a custom-built, 1-μm
