Biography

Enrique Josua Fernandez is currently Associate Professor of Optics at the Department of Physics, University of Murcia, Spain. He has contributed to the development of Adaptive Optics in Visual Science from basic research to industrial applications. He has designed and implemented a variety of experimental setups to study the human eye from different perspectives and techniques. He has introduced several concepts in Adaptive Optics, as the visual simulator, the modality of pancorrection for retinal imaging, combining the compensation of chromatic and monochromatic aberrations, among others. He is the first author of several seminal papers and patents in the field.
