Research interests

My current primary research interests focus on the understanding of eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration, in particular

• the relationship between retinal structure and visual function,
• the development of novel diagnostic methods using bioinformatics and statistical learning,
• the prediction (prognosis) of disease progression in the future,
• the association between retinal parameters and age and life style related diseases.

Apart from that, I have been working on all areas of vision science, such as

• temporal aspects of visual processing,
• face recognition,
• optimal adaptive sequential sampling,
• display technology.
