Roksana Sadeghi is a postdoctoral researcher in the Bionic Vision Lab at UCSB with Dr. Michael Beyeler.

She has a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, where she worked with Dr. Gislin Dagnelie to study the functional vision of people with visual impairment. She also led the psychophysical experiments to understand the visual perception evoked by the intracortical visual prosthesis (ICVP) in collaboration with Chicago Lighthouse and Illinois Institute for Technology. Then, her PhD was followed by a two-year postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Vision Science department, where she worked with Dr. Jorge Otero-Millan to develop an open-source, modular, and cost-effective framework for video-based eye trackers called OpenIris.
