Maria Vinas is currently an IF-MSC fellow at MGH-Harvard Medical School & Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She completed undergraduate studies in Optics & Optometry and Optical Engineering in the UCM, followed by a predoctoral work at the Visual Optics & Biophotonics Lab, where she obtained her PhD in Physics in 2015.

Dr. Maria Vinas research focuses on the study of the physics of vision and vision psychophysics, through the use of Adaptive Optics visual simulators, which has been used to image the eye, and study visual function and neural adaptation in polychromatic conditions under a very wide range of artificially-simulated-conditions. Her work with Adaptive Optics visual simulators in vision has led to significant contributions, in the form of high impact publications, conference presentations, and technology transfer in the areas of chromatic aberrations in phakic and pseudophakic eyes and their impact on vision; optical, visual and neural effects of astigmatism, hig
