About Danka

Danka Sampson is a senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia and a senior research fellow at the Lions Eye Institute, holding an adjunct senior research fellow position in the UWA Medical School, Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science. An internationally trained physicist, she earned her Doctor of Philosophy in Biophysics from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń on 14 February 2014. Her doctoral thesis, titled "Influence of blood inhomogeneity on phase information in spectral optical coherence tomography," established her foundation in advanced optical imaging. Sampson's research specializations encompass designing and constructing non-invasive imaging instruments based on optical coherence tomography for ophthalmology applications and developing standardised workflows for ophthalmic image and data analysis. Her academic interests lie in optics and photonics, with a focus on diagnostics, digital health, medical devices, ageing, and education. Over 12 years, she has collaborated with interdisciplinary teams of computer scientists, clinicians, and biologists at universities, medical research institutes, and industry settings, advancing ophthalmology and neurology.
