Harilaos Ginis PhD - Athens Eye Hospital

Physicist

Harilaos Ginis received his BSc degree in Physics from the University of Crete in 1993 and worked for three years in the local biomedical industry.
He returned to academia and earned his PhD in biomedical technology in 2003. He taught general optics, physiological optics, computational physics and signal processing for nine years at post-graduate level in Crete (Greece) and worked on laser-tissue interaction, mechanical and optical properties of the eye and surgical laser systems.

He then moved to the Laboratorio de Optica Murcia (Spain) where he worked on imaging and diagnostic applications in ophthalmology, including 2-photon microscopy and in-vivo optical characterization of ocular tissues.

He has supervised more than 25 MSc and 7 PhD theses.

He is currently head of the Research department at Athens Eye Hospital and works for the development of novel diagnostic and surgical methods in ophthalmology. His personal research interests include straylight phenomena in vision and optical metrology in the eye.

He is in the editorial board (topical editor for Clinical Vision and Visual Optics) of the Journal of the Optical Society of America A. (JOSAA)

He holds more than ten patents and has designed various devices that are commercial in ophthalmology including surgical systems, diagnostic instruments and intraocular lenses.
