Abstract:
Adaptive optics, a technology borrowed from astronomy, has emerged as one of the premier imaging technologies for investigating vision and ocular disease. I will discuss how adaptive optics allows diffraction-limited imaging of the living eye at the scale of individual photoreceptors, and how this technology can be used to investigate retinal neurons that control how we interpret visual information.
Speaker Bio:
Tyler Godat is a PhD candidate in the Advanced Retinal Imaging Alliance as part of the Center for Visual Science at the University of Rochester, where he works with Dr. David Williams. He graduated from RIT in 2016 with a BS in Physics and Applied Mathematics, working with Dr. Mishkat Bhattacharya studying cavity optomechanics.
Intended Audience:
All are welcome. Those with interest in the topic.
