I'm a cognitive psychologist with a research focus in human visual cognition. Broadly, my research is centred in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience; more specifically, my work explores human visual perception in applied and translational settings. Using experimental paradigms designed to assess abilities from low-level motion perception to higher-level visual search, I investigate how environmental influences, individual differences, and expertise can improve or inhibit visual processing. My research has strong applications ranging from medicine to security science to virtual reality, and I maintain active collaborations with a diverse group of researchers both within and outside of psychology. I am currently looking to establish a comprehensive understanding of individual differences within cognitive processing with an aim to relate my findings to real-world applications of malleable perceptual experience.​​
