Research

  • My primary research interests include optics of the eye, visual psychophysics, ocular imaging, and quantitative analysis of the ocular structures. My current research is mainly focused on understanding the structure-function correlates in different ocular pathologies. I have developed customized psychophysical programs that can be used to evaluate different visual functions under different optical and viewing conditions.

    I have also worked with the development of a customized image analysis program that can be used to evaluate individual retinal layers in specific landmarks.

Teaching

  • I started teaching in the Optometry program at Karolinska Institute in 2017. Before that I have taught in the Optometry program at Elite school of Optometry in India between 2008-2011 and then during my PhD studies and I have taught in the Optics courses in KTH, Royal institute of Technology between 2012-2016. From 2019, I have been responsible for organizing different courses within the Optometry program at Karolinska Institutet and administer about 4 or 5 courses every year. I have worked extensively in the development of the new study plan in the Optometry program, that had been implemented in 2019. My teaching is mainly focused on the following topics: optics of the eye, visual perception, and ocular imaging and ocular diseases.

    From January 2023, I have been appointed as assistant program director for the Optometry program at Karolinska Institutet with specific responsibility
    of the Master programme in clinical optometry.
