Dr. Jeanmaire Manelski
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Graduate school can intimidate the first time and who else but Jeanmaire could go back to get a second PhD?
Brain science is meant to "elucidate behavior" and make for us a better society but we are far from it. Our social systems have been brokered away-- East and West, both alike-- we have lost traditional morality. EyeMisra has plans to "make a dent" and Dr. Manelski provides the motivation.
For the moment we are looking at, 1) Better curriculum for middle schools, and 2) Individual grants to exceptional teachers and researchers: Write us here for more-- OcularScience@aol.com

Terry
CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER
To make easier the pronunciation of his name, our CTO prefers to be known as Terry. After completion of aerospace engineering at University of Virginia, Terry did graduate work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology on configuration of piezoelectric sensors with embedded controllers. He then switched to medical sales. Terry is expert in human factors and is working with the CEO to design display technology better suited for persons with dyslexia and other deficits of visual performance.
In year 2007, Terry attended a conference at the University of Helsinki where he had
opportunity to meet with Arto Numella (Nokia).
Warren Ward
DIRECTOR, ENGINEERING
Mr. Ward knows precision eye-tracking and optical-electronic feedback loops that repeat at millisecond intervals. His contributions to EyeMisra going back many years have been substantial and there is much more we hope to learn from Warren looking forward.
Mark Forman
DIRECTOR, INSTRUMENTATION
Mr. Forman is expert on design specifications for tonometry and refractometry instruments of Japanese, German, and American brands, and he attends trade shows to know about the latest in medical technology pertaining to eye care. He is quick to make decisions and this means we are all better off with Mark on our side.
