Biography

I am a vision scientist currently residing in Sydney, Australia, studying a variety of problems in vision. My main focus of research is 'mid-level' vision, particularly issues related to perceptual organization, segmentation, grouping, and the recovery of surface attributes such as color, material composition, and shape. My research aligns with the Faculty of Science's Research Strengths in Brain, Behaviour, Cognition, and Preventing and Treating Disease and Disorder. I explore areas like visual perception, 3D shape understanding, material cognition, and color recognition through a series of grants and research projects, aimed at unraveling the complex cues that underlie our perceptual experiences.
