Professor, Primary Investigator (PI)
My research is on brain plasticity and visual perception. It's a great time to be doing this work, with new technologies allowing us to address age old questions such as: How much can experience change what the world looks like to us? What sets the limits on this plasticity? Can we use it to help with visual disorders?

I study how people with low vision read and how it can be aided using gaze-contingent spatial remapping of letters and words. I have also broadly studied visual perception and attention using different psychophysical paradigms.

My research focuses on understanding how visual impairments, such as Age-related Macular Degeneration, affect the way visual information is processed and how the visual system adapts to impaired vision.

My research involves investigating processes of suppression in binocular rivalry using direct psychophysical tests and modeling approaches. I also study interactions between vision and hearing in how we spatially localize objects.

My current research explores the perceptual experience and neural underpinnings of visual snow syndrome. I am interested in fMRI as a method to interpret brain activity within the visual system. In my free time I like to dance, explore nature, and laugh.
