Computational Ocularscience Laboratory

Principal aims of our current research investigations are:

1. To characterize and understand 3D structural dynamics in the optic nerve head region of the eye as well as its remodeling in glaucoma non-invasively;
2. And to develop biophysical models of laser-mediated ocular therapies, optimal approaches to ocular drug delivery and their therapeutic responses.

Our interdisciplinary research efforts are structured to make significant contributions to relevant areas in computer vision, optical imaging, multiphysical modeling of ocular structures (biomechanics, fluid-structure interaction) and in multiphysical modeling of physiological responses to ocular therapeutics.  The central goals of our research efforts are biological in nature to benefit human health by furthering our understanding of pathophysiological changes in the eye, and by accelerating development of therapeutic mechanisms using computational science and engineering.
