Biography

Richard Vickery is an Associate Professor in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of New South Wales. He holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours from the University of Sydney and a PhD from UNSW. His research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms that give rise to sensory perception, particularly in the context of tactile perception and the cortical coding of the somatosensory system. He works on developing bionic hands and tactile prostheses that aim to restore touch to amputees by utilizing electrophysiological recordings to collect real-time neural data. Vickery integrates these findings with behavioral and psychophysical studies to decode the neural responses to tactile stimuli. He has contributed significantly to various grants aimed at enhancing learning in biomedical sciences and was awarded the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence in 2017. He teaches courses related to human systems, physiology, and neuroscience, making substantial contributions to the education of students in medicine, health science, and engineering.
