JUSTO ARINES PIFERRER

JUSTO ARINES PIFERRER is a University Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics within the Faculty of Optics and Optometry. He is part of the Materials Institute (iMATUS) and the Strategic Grouping in Materials (AEMAT), leading the P4Life Photonics4Life research group. His doctoral thesis (2006) focused on high-resolution retinal imaging via deconvolution after partial compensation, advised by Dr. Salvador Bará Viñas.

Research interests include optical systems for retinal imaging, wavefront coding techniques, phase mask design for vision correction (e.g., presbyopia), and low-cost ophthalmic devices. He explores applications in biomedical optics, laser technologies, and educational tools for optometry training.

Recent work addresses chromatic aberration correction in imaging systems, presbyopia solutions using Jacobi-Fourier phase masks, and enhancing retinal images in cataract patients. He also investigates UVC disinfection methods and environmental lighting impacts on cultural heritage sites.

No scientific awards are listed, though his contributions span over 100 publications. He has advised students in optometry and biomedical optics, though specific names are not provided. His lab work integrates photonics, materials science, and medical engineering, with collaborations in both academic and industrial sectors.
