EPSRC funded project to study "Limits of
functional, diffraction-limited vision"
A well motivated PhD student with a good
academic record is sought to study the "Limits
of functional, diffraction-limited vision with
emphasis on development of novel instrumentation
and techniques to separate the effects of
scattered light and aberrations". The aim of
the project is to develop and validate novel
techniques for rapid objective measurement of
the scatter function of the eye with emphasis on
separating the effects of scattered light and
aberrations.
A number of psychophysical studies of visual
performance will also be carried out using a new
adaptive optics system constructed for this
work. The successful applicant will join another
PhD student and will be working in a team that
includes John Barbur, Chris Dainty, Chris Hull
and Luis Santana Haro.
The clinical, psychophysical studies will also
involve Michael Morgan, Manfred Fahle and Roger
Buckley. The project provides skilled technical
support with development of optical
instrumentation and specialised programming. The
position is open to a graduate with a good
background in a scientific or engineering
discipline. Interest or experience in retinal
imaging, adaptive optics and / or the
measurement of scattered light in the eye would
be a distinct advantage. The position is
available from 1st October for three years.
