Special Consideration in Pediatrics, College of Optometry

My teaching philosophy is to engage students with interactive tools inside the classroom, to present logically structured, evidence-based information, and to provide students the underlining connection between basic science and clinical application. 

I am interested in exploring the neurophysiology and pathology underlies binocular anomalies.  This includes primary binocular anomalies in pediatric, as well as adult population, and binocular dysfunctions in patients suffering from acquired brain injury.  I am also interested in exploring the scientific evidence for neuro-optometric therapy and rehabilitation.  

Member, American Academy of Optometry (AAO)

I graduated fromTongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China with a Bachelor degree in clinical medicine (equivalent to M.D. degree in US). Subsequently, I joined the graduate program at the same university and earned a Master degree in neurobiology.  In 2002, I came to the United States to pursue research in neuroscience and earned a Ph.D. from Washington State University.  My thesis research is in genetic diseases rendering human visual impairment.  To further my career in a vision related field, I went to New England College of Optometry and received my OD degree in 2010. I joined Western University College of Optometry in 2010 as assistant professor.  I am interested in specialty areas of optometry such as binocular vision, pediatric optometry and neuro-optometric rehabilitation.  I am currently teaching courses in these related topics, as well as practice in a clinical setting.  I am also collaborating in research projects related to these areas and developing independent research projects.
