Austin Roorda awarded Rank Prize for Optoelectronics

For the development of instruments that use adaptive optics technologies to capture high-resolution images of the living human retina

We are thrilled to announce that UC Berkeley Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science professor Austin Roorda has been awarded the 2024 Rank Prize for Optoelectronics. The 2024 Rank Prize for Optoelectronics is awarded to four internationally leading scientists for the development of instruments that use adaptive optics technologies to capture high-resolution images of the living human retina. Their pioneering research has generated new fundamental insights into the structure and function of the human eye in both health and disease as well as new clinical interventions to remedy sight loss from common disorders. Congratulations Dr. Roorda on this prestigious and well-deserved award!
