Mgr Aleksandra Fojcik

An optometrist and PhD student at Wrocław University of Technology in the field of biomedical engineering. Her research focuses on the analysis of biomedical data, signal and medical image processing, and the application of statistical and computational methods in optometry and ophthalmology. Her research interests include myopia, the biomechanics and biometrics of the eye, and the analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.

She is currently conducting research into the relationship between near work and the prevalence of myopia in young adults, taking into account the functional, anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the eye. She is also developing her skills in data analysis and artificial intelligence, acquired, amongst other things, during her postgraduate studies in Data Science, which open up opportunities to apply AI methods in research on biomedical data and images.

She has presented her research findings at international scientific conferences, including those organised by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), the American Academy of Optometry (AAO) and Visual and Physiological Optics (VPO).
