Academic & Research Background
My research aims to understand the perceptual, cognitive,
and neural mechanisms underlying person perception.
This often involves studying faces, as they provide information
about the identity, age, sex, race, attractiveness and mood of
other people, but also involves studying the perception of
bodies and voices.
