Bio: What does it mean, to see? To perceive? My primary interest in psychology is cognition at the nexus of technology and neuroscience. My research takes root in examining cognition and attentional control within the visual system, and also examining how multisensory processing contributes to perception and cognition. How we we pay attention to the many features and objects in our environment is a key aspect of cognition, and the visual system and eye tracking provide an excellent system for its study. Advancing eye tracking applications for extended reality (XR) is now my key focus.  I am also currently a Research Scientist at Reality Labs Research (Meta née Oculus), where I am advancing eye tracking and other research for new applications in extended reality (AR/VR/MR).
