The purpose of this website is to provide a little information about myself and the work I have been doing over the past several years. I am currently in my final year in the experimental psychology graduate program at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. I am a part of the sensation/perception group within the psychology program and am working in Dr. Rhea Eskew's lab, studying color vision.

In our lab we do psychophysics.  Psychophysics is the study of the relationship between physical stimuli and how we perceive them. Typically we do this by collecting threshold measurements for carefully selected stimuli under different viewing conditions.  By doing so we attempt to examine the bounds of our perceptual capabilities for detecting a given external stimulus.

Specifically, my Master's work was focused on detailing the differences between the increment and decrement pathways of the human short wavelength sensitive cone (S-cones). My dissertation work continues down the same path and aim to determine the long-wave inputs to these S-cone pathways.  

I hope to use this work as a foundation to go into a more applied field helping to improve human/display interactions.  I am very excited that I will be working at the Volpe Center doing human factors work for the Department of Transportation starting this summer.  Please explore my website and contact me with any questions you may have.
