Houri Esmaeilkhanian
Visiting Instructor, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioStudy area: Post-op nasolacrimal duct obstruction; corneal injuries and associated management; diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration; deep learning and AI
Dr. Esmaeilkhanian is a medical doctor graduated in 2018 from the Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS). When she was a medical student, she developed a strong passion for ophthalmology, and her research started off in this field. After completing medical school, she worked in an underprivileged area for a few years while she continued her research at the Eye and Ear Research Institute of IUMS. In 2021, she joined Doheny Eye Institute, UCLA where she had the opportunity to do research on diabetic retinopathy and AMD and to get clinical experience as well. She joined Byers Eye Institute on March 2023 and is looking forward to learning a lot from great mentors at Byers Eye Institute, making lots of friends, and gaining invaluable professional and personal skills. -
Jen Haensel
Basic Life Res Scientist, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioI am a Research Scientist in the Roberts Vision Development & Oculomotor Lab at Stanford University’s Department of Ophthalmology, working at the intersection of vision science, neuroscience, and experimental psychology. My current research uses eye-tracking, photorefraction, and psychophysics to study oculomotor development and visual function in amblyopia, strabismus, and concussion. I also work on developing methodology to record accommodative measurements and gaze behaviour in dynamic, naturalistic settings.
I completed my PhD in Experimental Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London (UK), where I used advanced eye-tracking techniques to study the influence of postnatal experience on social gaze behaviour. Prior to joining Stanford, I also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bath (UK), developing empirical human-robot interaction studies to inform the ethical design of humanoid robots. -

Bartlomiej Kowalski
Software Dvlpr 3, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioI am a senior software engineer in the Dubra Lab at The Byers Eye Institute, where I work on developing novel ophthalmic imaging instrumentation for improving the understanding, diagnosing and management of eye disease.
My interest in computer science started early in life and led me to obtain master’s degree at Czestochowa University of Technology (Poland). After graduating, I contributed to the advancing of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and pioneering of swept-source OCT for retinal imaging as part of Canon Ophthalmic Technologies (Poland). This work resulted in two commercially successful instruments, the Xephilio OCT-A1 and the Xephilio OCT-S1, which are sold worldwide.
My current work focuses on innovations that allow the translation of Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscopy from a research tool into a mature technology that improves eye care. -
Karteek Kunala
Research Engineer, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioMy current interests are in development of design and instrumentation of pre-clinical vision devices, to conduct non-invasive in vivo retinal imaging. I studied Physics with a concentration in optics during my time at University of Hyderabad, India and received a bachelors and masters degree in 2014. I then moved to USA to continue working in the field of optics at University of North Carolina at Charlotte to pursue my PhD, working on nanofabrication of broadband anti-reflective structures. My interest in vision science started with my job at University of Rochester as a research scientist, where I was involved in developing optical imaging tools using adaptive optics to study retinal diseases. My work was focused on development of fluorescence lifetime imaging techniques in humans and two photon fluorescence microscopy in mouse.
