About
I am a graduate student obtaining a dual Optometry Doctorate and MS in Vision Science at Indiana University School of Optometry.
My research is centered around building transportation technology for those with a visual impairment or blindness. Although the technology has the capability to transform many disabled individuals’ lives, many forms of autonomous vehicles are limited in accessibility. This research aims to understand how the needs and desires of those with vision loss differ than those with normal vision.
I joined the Hassan Lab to better understand the needs of patients with vision loss. Low vision optometry is very centered on improving quality of life, which we may study in the Hassan Lab through mobility and transportation research.
