Bio
I completed my PhD in experimental psychology at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia in 1979. Following this, I was awarded the J.B.R. Cosgrove Research Fellowship at the Montreal Neurological Institute in the Department of Neuro-Ophthalmology with a cross-appointment in the Ophthalmology Department at McGill University. Following, I was awarded a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada which was also taken in the Department of Neuro-Ophthalmology at the Montreal Neurological Institute. In 1982, I moved to Calgary where I held academic appointments in the Departments of Pediatrics, Clinical Neurosciences and Surgery at the University of Calgary. During that time I was Director of the Sensory Physiology Laboratory at Alberta Children's Hospital for the next 16 years. In 1998 I accepted an appointment at the University of Ottawa as Associate Professor in Ophthalmology and became Director of Structural and Functional Imaging Unit at the University of Ottawa Eye Institute. In 2005 I received the American Academy of Ophthalmology Achievement Award. In 2012 I received a cross-appointment in the Cellular and Molecular Medicine Department.
