Research

My aim is to understand the information processing involved in the visual control of high speed locomotion - in particular processes involved in trajectory planning in individuals of high levels of skill and expertise, such as race driving, skiing etc. Relevant research areas include cognitive modeling, vehicle dynamics, cognitive neuroscience, sports psychology, and perceptual and cognitive psychology.

I did my PhD in Cognitive Science on car drivers' visual behavior in curve driving.
