Gavin Swartz

Gavin Swartz is a Lecturer in Optometry and Vision Science at the School of Health and Clinical Sciences, University of Western Australia. His research focuses on advanced optical technologies for biomedical applications, particularly terahertz engineering and optical coherence tomography for ophthalmic diagnostics and material characterization.

Research Focus: Dr. Swartz specializes in developing novel imaging methodologies, with emphasis on:

• Terahertz spectroscopy for biomaterial analysis
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT) applications
• Deep learning approaches for retinal disease diagnosis
• Contact lens material properties and hydration dynamics
• Refractive index measurement techniques

Publication Trends: His recent work (2022-2023) demonstrates strong focus on interdisciplinary research combining optical physics with clinical optometry. Primary themes include contact lens characterization using terahertz/OCT technologies and artificial intelligence applications in ophthalmology, particularly for retinal and optic nerve disease analysis.
