Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology
Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University

Research Interests: My primary research interest lies at the intersection of glaucoma and public health. I am passionate about community-based strategies to identify glaucoma earlier especially in those at high risk such as first-degree relatives of glaucoma patients. Additionally, I feel strongly about understanding ways to prevent sequential blindness in patients who are already blind in one eye. I am also interested in various topics such as glaucoma imaging, telemedicine, healthcare technology, and patient education.
