About me

I am a full-time attending retinal specialist and Surgeon at the Department of Ophthalmology, Rudolf Foundation Clinic, Vienna. I have conducted several clinical trials and published over 30 articles in peer-reviewed journals. My research interests are vitreoretinal disorders and surgical approaches, including retinal detachment surgery and macular surgery, as well as new advances in combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery and intraoperative optical coherence tomography.

I regularly attend international and national meetings and am a member of several prestigious societies, including the Retina Society, the ASRS, the Club Jules Gonin, the Euretina, the AAO, and the ARVO. I have completed the SOE-leadership development program “EuLDP” and several observerships at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. I am also an associate professor of ophthalmology at Cornell University in New York and the Medical University of Vienna, a member of the National Retina Committee of the Austrian Ophthalmological Society, and the vice chair of Austrian Young Ophthalmologists.
