My research interests include social anxiety, depression, social cognition, emotion, face processing and attention. I use eye tracking to investigate attention and cognitions in response to facial expressions and social gestures. I am also interested in developing methods to facilitate social confidence. Previous research roles have included the measurement of cognitive performance and attention in engineering contexts including naval architecture and image processing and in medical contexts. I am particularly interested in developing training methods for operator and clinician performance and in optimising interface design.
