Professor Schuman leads the Advanced Ophthalmic Imaging Laboratory (AOIL), which consists of a team of ophthalmologists, engineers, software specialists, statisticians, and medical and engineering trainees. He and his colleagues focus primarily on the study of glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in the world. They develop advanced imaging tools to diagnose this debilitating disease, monitor its progression, and investigate its pathogenesis.

I am a clinical ophthalmologist and a researcher. I enjoy mentoring and have done so for over 30 years. Many of the people I've mentored have assumed leadership positions in their institutions or professional societies.
