He explores novel therapeutic strategies aimed at treating visual disorders and is developing a next-generation visual neuroprosthesis based on brain stimulation through optogenetics. Additionally, his work addresses cortical blindness by investigating functional reorganization in the brain and visual perception following strokes.
