Trini Nguyen, an applied mathematics student at California State University, Fullerton, is developing a mathematical model to non-invasively detect dry eye disease.
With guidance from her mathematics professor and other mentors, Nguyen is reportedly developing a mathematical model to predict the thicknesses of the tear layers of the eye, as well as writing a computer program that can quickly detect and diagnose dry-eye diseases.
According to Cal State Fullerton, last month Nguyen was presented with an outstanding research award at the national joint meeting of the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society in Atlanta for her work.
