Contact details:

I am interested in understanding human visual perception using behavioural techniques and computational modelling. My recent research focus has been on binocular and colour perception and its relationship to primate cortical physiology. In particular I am interested in how the brain combines colour signals from the eyes when those colour signals are conflicting. I am currently a lecturer in the Department of Psychology and maintain collaborations on colour vision with researchers at the University of Rochester, the University of Sydney, and the University of Melbourne.

Research Interests:

• Colour Vision
• Binocular Vision
• Computational Neuroscience
