My primary research interest is in the computational mechanisms that underly "mid-level" human visual perception, including 2D feature/edge detection and linking, image segmentation, and stereo-depth perception. I believe that a satisfactory description of these mechanisms will come from an interdisciplinary effort across the various sub-fields of neuroscience---such as anatomy, physiology, behavior---and likeliy to beneifit to benefit from useful frameworks applied in other fields---e.g. mathematics, physics, engineering. So, one might say, my research interests are fairly broad.

My dissertational work investigated the stereo-depth perception in natural images/scenes. (When most people observe a scene, they view it in stereo, i.e. via two retinal images, with slightly different vatnage between them. The small differences between these images, or binocular disparities, are stereo-depth cues, which cue observers to underlying depth strcuture of the observed scene.) See this publication for more information.

I also like computer system administration, coding, teaching, and heavy metal.
