Research

I have a keen thirst for knowledge, which began before my medical career with my science degree and honours year in Neurophysiology.

I recently completed my PhD titled Myopia Progression in Children at Macquarie University.

I am extensively involved in ongoing myopia research at Macquarie University and in supervising various myopia projects with medical students at Macquarie University, optometry students at Canberra University and an Ophthalmic registrar accredited by RANZCO.

I have been a Principal Investigator for a multinational amblyopia trial at Macquarie University Hospital.
