Biography

Senior Lecturer in the Department of Optics, Optometry and Vision Sciences at the University of Valencia, where she teaches, conducts research and performs management duties in the field of vision sciences and applied psychophysics.

Academic background

She is an Optician Optometrist and holds a PhD from the University of Alicante. Her doctoral thesis (2013) focused on the design and validation of an incremental threshold campimeter, addressing psychophysical methods for the evaluation of visual function. This training marked her specialisation in experimental and quantitative techniques applied to vision. After completing her PhD, she joined the University of Valencia, where she has developed her career in collaboration with the FOM centre (GVA Medical Ophthalmology Foundation).

Teaching activity

His teaching focuses on the Bachelor's Degree in Optics and Optometry and postgraduate studies, teaching subjects related to:

  • Psychophysics of vision
  • Optometry
  • Visual diagnostic techniques

He supervises Bachelor's and Master's Degree Final Projects, actively contributing to the practical and scientific training of students.

He participates in teaching innovation projects, including the development of digital resources and MOOCs.

Research

He is a member of the Applied Psychophysics Group at the University of Valencia. His main lines of research include:

  • Psychophysical assessment of visual function
  • Design and validation of instruments for visual testing
  • Clinical applications of psychophysics
  • Visual quality and perception

She has published scientific articles in specialist journals and contributed to national and international conferences.

Academic management

She has taken on university management responsibilities, including the coordination of various degree courses, and is currently the coordinator of the GOO. In this role, she has participated in academic planning, curriculum improvement and teaching quality assurance.

Educational innovation and dissemination

She collaborates in scientific dissemination activities related to vision and optics, both in the university and professional spheres.

Overall profile

Her profile combines teaching, research, management and dissemination in a balanced way, with a clear focus on improving knowledge and training in optics, optometry and vision sciences.
