What makes me tick....
As far back as I can remember, I have always been interested in how things worked. As a child, broken clocks needed me to disassemble them, the machines in my grandfather's paper factory needed my attention, and my brother barely got a chance to play with his Mr. Machine (do you remember it... it was a puzzle which was also a wind-up robot?).
As an Experimental Psychologist, I've been trained to explore the greatest puzzle of all, the mystery of how the human mind synthesizes reality from a myriad of sensory impressions. I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in many different areas, including problem solving, spatial vision, shape perception, color vision, and image perception. And, the best part is, I've been able to use what I've learned to build tools and applications which help other people solve problems... like how to better understand patterns and structures in data, or how to navigate more naturally through a digital archive of images.
