Senior Lecturer in Optometry
Bradford School of Optometry and Vision Sciences
Bradford University

Biography
After a three year period working in Optometric Practice he returned to Bradford and competed his PhD thesis in 2006. The title was 'Audiovisual Perceptual Interaction in Humans'. Following an 18 month post doctoral research assistant he was appointed as a lecturer within the Department of Optometry
Research Interest
His research interests centre around psychophysical investigations of human sensory perception. The question of how the human brain constructs a representation of multisensory space and time is of particular interest together with issues surrounding the role of adaptation to spatiotemporal discrepancies in our environment.
