Research Interests
Marco Ruggeri's research spans several critical areas in ophthalmology and biomedical optics. He specializes in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for dynamic imaging of ocular structures, including the ciliary muscle and crystalline lens. His work investigates refractive index variations in aging lenses, the viscoelastic properties of ocular tissues, and design optimization of intraocular lenses. Additionally, he explores handheld imaging systems for retinal diagnostics and biomechanical changes during accommodation and disaccommodation. Ruggeri's interdisciplinary approach bridges optical engineering, clinical ophthalmology, and biophysics to advance understanding of eye function and disease.
Publications & Collaborative Work
Ruggeri has authored peer-reviewed studies on OCT validation for lens shape estimation, age-related refractive index shifts, and peripheral defocus in intraocular lens design. His collaborative efforts include developing portable imaging devices and analyzing biomechanical responses to ocular treatments.
