Fitxa persona

I hold a degree in Optics and Optometry from the University of Valencia (1996). At the same university, I completed the MSc in Advanced Optometry and Vision Sciences (2012) and the PhD in Optometry and Vision Sciences (2017). I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Optics and Optometry and Vision Sciences at the University of Valencia. In addition, I earned a BSc in Psychology from UNED (2010), completed postgraduate training in Statistics and Probability Applied to Medicine (UNED, 2011), and took a course in Programming and Data Analysis with R (University of Salamanca, 2023).

My research focuses on physiological optics and optometry applied to refractive surgery, with a particular interest in multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). My PhD thesis, entitled Novel segmented-design refractive multifocal intraocular lenses, addressed the characterization of segmented-design refractive multifocal IOLs and their optometric management.

I am a co-author of 101 articles in international peer-reviewed journals (34 in Q1 journals), and my h-index is 20 (Web of Science). I have contributed to 100 communications at scientific meetings (55 national and 45 international), and I have co-authored three books and 17 book chapters in the field of optometry and refractive surgery. I currently participate as a researcher in the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation funded project PID2021-122486OA-I00 (AL-LIO), "Design of a clinical decision algorithm in the selection process of the type of IOL to be implanted to correct presbyopia and cataract".

My current work focuses on developing new subjective refraction procedures based on vector formalism, and on the in vitro and in vivo characterization of advanced monofocal IOLs and extended-depth-of-focus IOLs.
