Introduction and area of work:

I studied for my undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. I have also taken courses in psychology as well as molecular and cell-biology at the University of Gothenburg before starting my PhD in September 2008.

I work in the stereo vision group in the Henry Wellcome building, with Jenny Read as my supervisor. I’m interested in how binocular disparity is represented in the early visual system and in particular in comparing psychophysical results on the detectability of different disparity corrugation to cross-correlation based neural models.

Qualifications:

MSc Engineering Physics

Techniques:

Visual psychophysics
Computational modelling of early visual system cells
