Dr Loxlan Kasa has a Bachelor of Science and Postgraduate Diploma in Science majoring in physics from the University of Papua New Guinea, and a Master’s in Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. He completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, which applied advanced MRI modeling techniques to quantify brain microstructure in patients with neuropathological disease. He has experience in advanced computational neuroimaging pipeline development, machine learning, image processing and analysis including connectomics, and sophisticated cortical dynamics. Loxlan is is supported by the Vision Research Foundation and the Rapanui Trust, and will be working with Professor Helen Danesh-Meyer, Associate Professor Samantha Holdsworth, Dr Jesse Gale, and Dr Graham Wilson and others in the Mātai team to explore the role of dynamic movement of the eye in various eye diseases. The studies that Loxlan is working on uses a new brain imaging technique (amplified MRI), which allows magnification of the microscopic movement of the eye.
