Nikolaus Troje is a Full Professor in the Department of Biology at York University. His research focuses on visual perception, particularly in the context of sensorimotor processes that make perception possible. His work extensively studies person perception, including face recognition and biological motion, using cutting-edge technologies like 3D scanning and motion capture. At the BioMotion Lab, he explores how individuals perceive objects and communicate with others, as well as the psychological experience of owning one's body and situating oneself in space. Troje's interdisciplinary approach is evident in his research, which crosses boundaries of physiology and neuroscience, and has implications for character animation, automatic face gesture recognition, and applications in virtual reality, telecommunications, and therapeutic interventions. He is also actively looking for interested graduate students from backgrounds in Biology, Psychology, Engineering, and Computer Science.
