What We Do

We work at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and clinical ophthalmology. We aim to leverage mathematical, statistical, and artificial intelligence modeling to enhance our knowledge and understanding of eye diseases and ultimately improve clinical treatment through our passionate research. We publish our research in medical journals and prominent AI conferences such as CVPR and ICLR.
