معرفی
Dr. Padraig Mulholland is a Senior Lecturer in Optometry at Ulster University's School of Biomedical Sciences, with additional affiliation to the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences. His research program centers on visual neuroscience, specializing in glaucoma pathophysiology, retinal ganglion cell function, and visual processing mechanisms in myopia. With 33+ publications, he investigates spatial/temporal summation using psychophysical and electrophysiological methods.
His core research domains include:
- Glaucoma diagnostics via perimetric stimuli optimization
- Retinal ganglion cell density mapping
- Visual function adaptation in axial myopia
- Clinical applications for age-related macular degeneration
Recent publications show strong focus on improving diagnostic sensitivity for glaucoma (2018-2024) and understanding visual optimization in refractive errors (2020). He leads multiple active grants including:
- NIHR-funded e-learning for optometrists (2022-2025)
- Biomedical Catalyst project on glaucoma perimetry (2021-2025)
- Macular degeneration summation studies (2017-2021)
Dr. Mulholland currently supervises four PhD candidates researching retinal diagnostics and visual processing. He maintains active conference participation with recent presentations on perimetric stimuli at ARVO 2024.
