Guido Maiello

Guido Maiello is an early-career researcher at Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, in Germany. In 2017, Dr Maiello completed a doctoral program in Visual Neuroscience at University College London. During his doctoral studies Dr Maiello held Visiting Researcher positions at Harvard Medical School, Northeastern University, and the University of Genoa. His doctoral work spanned the topics of human depth perception, motor control, virtual reality technology and clinical vision. The main focus of his research has been to translate findings from basic vision science into meaningful technological and clinical applications. Just one year out of his PhD, Dr Maiello has been awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship to study how we employ the sense of sight to guide how we grasp objects.
