"My research focuses on developing optical imaging techniques to measure the biomechanical properties of the eye and improve the diagnosis and treatment of corneal diseases. Using optical coherence elastography (OCE), second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy, and computational analysis, I investigate how corneal structure and mechanics change in conditions such as keratoconus and after interventions such as corneal crosslinking."
