I am delighted to congratulate Razan Eltayeb, my Ph.D. student and member of the lab, on her participation in the 2026 Vision Sciences Research Network (VSRN) Summer School, held July 13–16, 2026. Razan was selected to present both a poster and an oral presentation at the event.

Her presentations highlighted preliminary findings from her scoping review Exploring the Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies Among Individuals Who Are Blind or Low Vision, co-authored with Mahboubeh Esmati, Sally Bailes, Laura Creti, Alice Havel, Eva Libman, Anthony Tibbs, and myself, Natalina Martiniello.

Razan also received the Suzanne-Véronneau-Troutman Chair Award for best oral presentation. Congratulations, Razan! This is wonderful recognition of your work, and we are very proud to have you as part of the team! Read more about Razan’s achievement on LinkedIn.
