Degrees

• B.S.Sc. Hons, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Psychology, 2002

Research Area

• My general research interest is to understand how different brain areas process various types of information to construct meaningful object percepts and concepts. Also, I am interested in how object representations are constrained by the interactions between different factors (e.g., visual, semantic, contextual properties).

Professional Societies

• Vision Sciences Society
• Perceptual Expertise Network
• Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center

Undergraduate Students

• Kara Grubb, Honors program (2007 Fall - 2009 Spring)
