Research areas

I am Senior Lecturer in the Infection and Global Health Division, School of Medicine, University of 58³Ô¹Ï and Honorary Professor at the International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH), London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. As well as being a Consultant Ophthalmologist in NHS Fife I hold Honorary Lecturer positions at Hasanuddin University, Indonesia, and the University of Rwanda. In addition I serve as technical advisor for Christian Blind Mission (CBM) Global and Tanzaneye NGOs, working closely with all the world’s major eye care NGOs, and contribute globally as a Board Member of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and as a member of the Editorial Board of the Community Eye Health Journal.

My research focuses on developing and implementing frugal, solar-powered diagnostic devices through the Arclight Project, with training embedded in health worker curricula across Africa and Asia. I also lead CVI-SIM, a patient-co-designed virtual reality simulation to improve understanding and management of cerebral visual impairment (CVI).
