My clinical research focuses on the intersection of ophthalmology, social determinants of health, and population-level drivers of eye disease. I am particularly interested in how neighborhood-level socioeconomic and environmental factors influence disease risk, access to care, and outcomes across the lifespan. I am interested in applying behavioral science and implementation-focused approaches to design equitable, data-driven interventions that improve eye health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
