| dbo:abstract |
Joshua D. Silver is a British physicist whose discoveries have included a new way to change the curvature of lenses, with a significant application for the low-cost manufacture of corrective lenses and adjustable spectacles, especially in low-income countries. Silver began his academic career in the Department of Atomic and Laser Physics at the University of Oxford, ultimately leading a research group. Professor Silver is currently the chief executive of the Centre for Vision in the Developing World at the University of Oxford, working to research the scope of and potential solutions to the problems of refractive error and low vision in the developing world.

En 2007, il était à la tête d'un groupe de chercheurs au sein du département de physique atomique et laser à l'Université d'Oxford. Le professeur Silver dirige actuellement le Centre for Vision in the Developing World (centre pour la vue dans les pays en développement) à l'Université d'Oxford. Il y effectue des recherches au sujet des troubles de la réfraction et des problèmes de vue dans les pays en voie de développement (champs d'application et solutions potentielles). (fr) |
