Research Assistant
Degrees: Bachelor of Science (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Hello there! My name is Devashish Singh and I am a research assitant at Smith-Kettlewell. I work for Dr.Stephen Heinen and Dr.Arvind Chandna in their respective labs. Outside of this I am involved with organizing and moderating the virtual Brown Bag, Colloquium and CVI@SKI meetings. I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (class of 2018) with a bachelor of science in Molecular and Cellular Biology (focus in Neuroscience) and a minor in Chemistry.

Chandna Lab (SEELAB)
We use rigorous scientific research with the goal to improve detection and treatment outcomes for individuals with strabismus, amblyopia, and cerebral visual impairment.
Heinen Lab
Our laboratory studies eye movements to understand basic neural circuitry that moves the eyes for clear vision, and as a tool to probe mental processes that are distinctly human. Our ultimate goal is to understand the substrate of neurological function and dysfunction, leading to development of non-invasive diagnosis and therapy for brain trauma and psychiatric disorders.

CVI@SKI Meeting. A group for Parents of children with Cerebral Visual Impairment supported by clinicians, researchers and teachers of the visually impaired.
We are a Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute sponsored,Little Learners Program, Lighthouse for the Blind, San Francisco supported information, communication research advocacy group consisting of SKI researchers, select clinicians, teachers of the visually impaired, and parents of children with cerebral visual impairment.

Investigating Reading in Individuals with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI)
In this project, we aim to understand (i) how CVI affects reading, (ii) how current rehabilitation techniques or assistive technologies help improve reading in CVI and (iii) what more can be done to assist those individuals with CVI

Eye Movements and Accommodation Patterns in Strabismus
Strabismus misaligned eyes is a common developmental condition in young children that can lead to amblyopia or poor vision and other forms of low vision. This project looks at the eye movements in relation to accommodation or focusing power in these patients to determine predictors of strabismus and outcome of treatment, with the goal of improving early detection, intervention and treatment.
