Nery Garcia Porta

Nery Garcia Porta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at the Faculty of Optics and Optometry, University of Santiago de Compostela. She is affiliated with the Strategic Grouping in Materials (AEMAT) and the research group P4Life – Photonics4Life, focusing on interdisciplinary applications of photonics in biomedical and ophthalmic contexts.

Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of applied physics and optometry, particularly in corneal biomechanics and the ocular surface response to contact lens wear, including silicone-hydrogel and orthokeratology lenses. These areas reflect a strong clinical and experimental focus on vision science and ocular health.

Although no publications are currently listed in the provided sources, her academic trajectory suggests ongoing research in biomedical photonics and vision correction technologies, with potential applications in diagnostic tools and contact lens design.

She has not received any scientific awards listed in the available data.

Nery Garcia Porta completed her doctorate at the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2015 with a thesis titled Ocular surface response and corneal biomechanical properties with silicone-hydrogel and orthokeratology contact lens wear, supervised by Dr. José Manuel González-Méijome, Dra. Maria Teresa Rodríguez Ares, and Dr. Javier Gonzalez Perez. There is no public information available about her advising of students or grant funding.

She is actively involved in the P4Life (Photonics4Life) research group and contributes to the Strategic R&D&I Grouping in Materials (AEMAT), indicating integration into collaborative, interdisciplinary research networks focused on materials and photonics for life sciences.
