Biography
My interest in Perception was stimulated early in life by various visual illusions, and by the discovery that my colour vision was defective. As an undergraduate, I studied Physics at Imperial College, London (UK), before moving to the University of York (UK) to study Psychology, specialising in Perception. At the University of Sussex (UK) I completed my doctoral thesis, followed by a post-doc at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, (USA). After 2 post-doctoral appointments at UNSW and a Senior Lectureship at the University of Plymouth (UK), I returned to Australia to my current position.
Research Interest
