I am presently an intern at Siemens Corporate Research, working in the field of cognitive engineering.

My interests are primarily in the basic research domain, and include the role that spatial frequency distribution plays in human visual perception. I am also strongly interested in object/location based attention.



As of 2007, I have worked with Dr. Robert Rauschenberger (Siemens Corporate Research), Dr. Alan Kingstone (University of British Columbia), and Dr. Michael Dodd (University of Nebraska).
