Biography

David White is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales, where he leads the Face Research Lab. His research primarily focuses on face perception and the individual differences in people's ability to perform face processing tasks. White explores how individuals perceive faces daily and how these abilities are critical for processing important social information. His studies delve into the implications of these individual differences for theoretical understanding of perceptual processing and social cognition, affecting people's everyday lives. White's work encompasses performance testing and the application of facial recognition technology, addressing the significant role of accurate face identification in critical identity management processes across various settings, including government, police work, and court systems. His interests extend to the practical applications of modern facial recognition technology and the use of Deep Neural Networks to model aspects of the human face processing system.
