About
Hello! I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Active Perception Lab at the University of Rochester. I use a combination of psychophysical and theoretical approaches to study the consequences of eye movements on perception and neural processing in the early visual system. My research investigates how we achieve high-acuity vision monocularly and binocularly, establish stable spatial representations while continually moving, and tune oculomotor behavior to efficiently code spatial information in time.
